Such things are usually done by "loaning" you test samples of the products, and then "forgetting" to recover them. In theory, you're expected to declare the value of such samples as income for tax purposes. Payments of cash or checks are rare unless you are hired as a consultant. Yes, but a couple of people in this group insist that the only reason I favor good lights is because I am getting paid by light companies. The fact that it isn't true doesn't matter to them. They will come up with any excuse they can think of to try to ignore the data. If you arrange with Reelight to send your persecutors some free sample lights, they might be inclined to reconsider their position. The problem here is that if you are repeatedly accused of some dastardly crime against the cycling multitudes, such as accepting payola from a vendor, the mere repetition of the accusation will eventually cause it to become a truism. Anyone who searches the web for bicycle lighting recommendations will eventually blunder across those accusations. The casual reader is more likely to accept the accusations at face value than to continue reading the subsequent discussion material. You might consider writing a explanation, FAQ, or manifesto on the topic, which you can reference in future discussions on the topic. If Mr. Scharf were to do that, honesty would require including quotes of his original statements saying something like "please start your purchases from my website" and bragging about his "guerilla marketing to all aspects of the bicycling community" - or whatever the precise wording was. (I wish now I'd saved a copy.) guerilla ~ a member of an irregular armed force that fights by sabotage and harassment. -- Cheers, John B. |
