I have been in the forum for more than a year now, and I agree with
you in this subject. My participation in CI$ was firstly motivated by
the existence of this forum and the Truevision section in MULTIVEN. I
think that here are people with opinions that I respect a lot. I like
to talk about products, but in a technical unbiased tone. When I
started in this forum, it certainly have another feeling. Don't ask
me what have changed, but it's more than this salesman-verb thing. I
don't know if I'm a little influenced by the lastest verbal violence
in some threads here, but I am seriously thinking in stop being an
active member of this forum, and just scan it for Autodesk's related
announcements in the libraries.
However, I think that this thing about dealer hype is not that hard.
Moreover, I think that people in the forum is smart enough to make
distinctions between unbiased opinons and ad copy.
But anyway, I feel that something wrong is going on here.
