As I believe this is a healthy, and rather beneficial discussion for all who read/post here, I respectively decline the offer to not publically share any thoughts or opinions I (or anyone else for that matter) may have.
Obviously nearly everyone that stumbles their way into this forum (yes, even an actuary) has the ability to read eight posts above the most current one. So, no - there was no misinterpretation whatsoever, I can safely assure you.
The points I made were in full light of the fact that the original poster of this thread is indeed closely connected with the company selling the product discussed in said thread. Would it be immoral if I happened to be a Best Buy stockholder, and I thought a deal offered by "my" company was worthy enough enough to post here? Of course it would not. In the same manner, nor would it be immoral if an owner/worker/shareholder/cleaning person from NewEgg.com did the same if the deal has merit.
That is, and very much should be, the distinction.
Free advertising of a "normal" sale price which anyone can find nearly anywhere obviously is far different. I believe anyone of reasonable intelligence can see or know the difference in magnitude. This deal applies, I believe (most especially considering the shipping charges being so low). Nor should one be permitted to simply post "a deal" for their employer without first disclosing the fact they are connected in some fashion with that employer. Genuine, and honest postings about deals, regardless from whom, should be welcomed.
Homer is to be commended for that, as the Moderator pointed out in his message. If anything, that should be the final word on this matter as they are the governing body for this venue. I believe if you see fault with the decision, a PM or email to them might be in order instead, rather than to myself or another member.
