Is "full disclosure" expected on NANOG, or is it just polite? Like mentioning that Chuck Reynolds is a salesman for QualiSystems, and not just another network operator passing on what they might think will help?
I think it's reasonable to expect that sales people identify themselves as such - including what vendor or re-seller they represent - on technical mailing lists. If sales solicitations are not permitted on the list, then it's also reasonable to expect that sales people respect that rule, same as everyone else on the list.
