Can a manufacturer post replies & discussions?

Hi Audiogoners and Moderators,

I am a manufacturer of high end audio accessories. As such, am I allowed (according to Audiogon guidelines) to post responses to questions that pertain to my field of vibration control? I know these forums are not meant to be a form of advertising and I don't intend to promote my products here but I want to make sure that any responses I post do not "cross the line". I expect that I wouldn't be allowed to name any of my products directly. Is that correct? What about discussing, and maybe being critical of, other philosophies of vibration control that are at odds with mine or products that are not executed well? If I would do so I would not discuss any other company's product specifically by name but by the general design pricinples.

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you.

There are a lot of folks in the industry here. It is nice to identify yourself (your commercial ties) in your posts as you did above, but it is not required by the rules as far as I know. Always nice to have experts. Vibration control(resonance?)is an interesting area.

I think most commercial folks feel welcomed here and most have a good experience too. If would be futile to try to keep you guys out with rules because the dishonest ones would just just shill and the honest ones, from which most of us amateurs can learn a thing or two, would not contribute.

The moderation guidelines suggest that "Posts that are obviously trying to sell something" will be rejected. They are found here.

Welcome
I remain,
