I agree w/Jim Thrush's comments. Whether the reference to a particular product or service comes from the supplier or provider of it or from one of its satisfied customers is immaterial in my opinion. Users can self-determine who they want as a supplier or provider. As long as the response doesn't become a commercial and doesn't make comparisons with other suppliers/providers, I see no reason why we shouldn't welcome them. After all, IPC membership and ComplianceNet membership is comprised of fabricators, assemblers, suppliers and customers of electronic interconnect products.

Is there a rule against offering a solution to a compliancenetter who asks a question if the solution is a product that you represent? Or is this response coming from someone outside the compliance net? Or from someone who did not see the original question that generated the response? I thought the Petroferm response was a logical and considerate response to the persons' request for help finding an ecologically suitable flux residue solution.
