Paul, You're way off on this one.
In the posts by Nick et al, there is none of the hype one would expect in advertizing (at least I have never seen anything like that). Always, their responses are on target, dealing with the questions raised in discussions in this forum. These contributions are enhanced by the fact that they say how they accomplished one thing or another, and the source code is always available so that one can followup in detail with working code. Further, no-one here believes that 'BigFish=OFBiz', and never has Nick or his crew ever suggested such a thing. The contributions made by Nick et al are, in my experience, among the most useful I have seen (obviously, I have not examined all 242 references to which you refer, so it is possible, however unlikely that may be, that I missed the ads to which you refer). I, for one, would welcome more such contributions, especially from folk who, like the BigFish crew, have an open source derivative product that one can examine.
