Squirt, to some extent you are right however, how would you learn if a rep did have any business sense?

Are you going to find that out from threads titled 'what color is your hair this week?' or from threads pertaining to adult business situations, no matter what they may be?

If a rep doesnt post in any business related threads, on any board (not just GWW) why would i put any confidence in their ability to help me with my business growth?

If only see them post in threads about hair color, last nights dinner, what they did at the bar last weekend, etc, why would i put any confidence in their ability to help me with my business growth?

In both of the scenarios i mentioned above, the rep hasnt given anyone a good enough reason, imho, for anyone to contact them about business related things so far as we know, they might just have blonde hair, gotten drunk at the local bar at the weekend and had sushi for dinner last night.

On the other hand though, if i see a rep posting in a range of business related threads, even simple replies like URLs for people to check out (not just their employers urls) opinions on topics that directly affect them and us in the industry etc, i know they do have some amount of knowledge or, at least, opinions on this business that could be usefull to me.
