No, I didn't know the rule. But like I said, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out when the owner of the site says knock it off, you knock it off. And, you really had to go digging to find that one. If you read it a little more closely, Mike didn't say anything to me, he simply reminded the other guy not to post links to products not sold on AG. My apology was proactive simply because I mentioned some products I use personally. I didn't link to them. I didn't compare them favorably or unfavorably to products sold here.
You said you didn't see his post. Great. Drop it. Quit knocking yourself out trying to drum up something for your next witty comeback 12 hours later.
