"Hi Spencer,
First, thanks for joining us. It will be nice to have a Ries representative to respond to questions about Ries tripods and heads.
Please note, however, that the forum is staunchly non-commercial. As a "vendor" you'll need to be particularly cautious about staying within the guidelines, and avoid making posts that are promotional in nature.
Your post in the New Products section is OK, but should have been approved by the moderators prior to posting.
Regards,
XXXXX"
Anything we say will be promotional in nature. So which way is it? We are the only LF tripod company in the world and here is a community of LF. Your magazines are all failing or have already failed. Most of the other equipment suppliers are gone. There has to be a balance. We are a very small company and cannot afford the $$$$ that our competitors spend each year to only reach this small market. The remaining photography magazines that are still out there are a lot like the new CBS comedy "The Great Indoors", and charge $3,800 a month for a small add in the back of the magazine.
We are not trying to take over your forum. We just want to hold your camera.
