DJL, would my "signature" be considered "spam" in your eyes? I feel that it is imperative for me to have my professional affiliation in my signature file, on many of the forums on R/E/P, we insist that professional affiliations be associated with every post.
I work for a sales organaization. MI feel that my affiliation with that sales organization should not be hidden nor concealed. There are certain biases that may occur due to that affiliation, these should be seen for what they are.
While I try to come to this board, and every board for that matter, as a recording engineer, and only as a recording engineer, the fact of the matter is that a good measure of my income is derived from working with a sales organization, this should not be overlooked when evaluating whether or not my advice is of value to the reader... or not.
As for the "Hangin' with George and Harvey at R/E/P", I reckon that could be considered "SPAM"... but again, it's about one of my professional affiliations. I suppose I could list BAMF Productions, and our studio "the Methods and Applications Laboratory", and "Hawg Doctor" [other professional affiliations] but they have no web presence. The "R/E/P" link... well if that's offensive, I have no problem removing it... but at the same time it might actually be somewhat useful for participants of this forum to be able to visit with a couple of professionals that have a good measure of experience. This is not to say that "HR" isn't an extremely valuable resource to the recording community, it is to say that "hey, there is another resource available to you where you can find out about techniques and tools employed by full time, and in many cases upper level professionals.
I dare say that the moderators on R/E/P have been awarded more gold and platinum album plaques than the moderation staff of any three other sites [not that that is a measure of "greatness", but it is a measure of something]... there are a whole bunch of serious professional engineers that hang on the Gearslutz forums as well... but I don't happen to work for Gearslutz, in other words, I have no professional affiliation with Gearslutz, so it's not in my signature file.
So... with all that said, which part is offensive to you? Which part [if any] is offensive to anyone else. I'm kinda curious.

Why?
