| I have no hidden agenda...I provide information in areas that I am well-informed so that I can contribute to threads that will hopefully be helpful to others.
Your information is good and helpful, Matt, and I hope it continues. At the same time, I think it's appropriate for an employee of Johnson Outdoors who works specifically in promotion and marketing to identify themselves as such - especially when commenting on JO products in comparison to other brands. It helps the readers to understand both the expertise that you offer on JO products, and for them to be aware of the potential bias in your point of view. If you don't want the agenda to appear hidden, then be out in the open about it - a simple inclusion of your work title in your post signature would accomplish this - aside from the transparency piece, I think there's a huge upside to people knowing that there's an "in house" muskie fisherman who can offer them some expert insights on JO product use.
