I think it would be good if dealers threads/posts came with a warning sticker<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> That way a newer, less experienced member would be fully aware that their advice should be taken with a grain of salt. <BR> <BR>That or start a whole other topic called "dealers corner" that way the dealers could get on there and debate on what the best brand and boat are without clogging up the air waves. Then if a person was interested in hearing what a dealer had to say... they could go there and find out.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to identify people as a dealer or non-dealer when they sign up. If they want to be anonymous, they can be anonymous. That's why it's important to look at a users profile, reputation and previous posts to see whether or not they are a reliable source of information. If they have no history, take it with a grain of salt.
