Personally, I was happy to see that Lynn 's reply to " nutrinaut " included a prominent disclaimer - which generally seems in line with the above. Attempting to squash discussions where people have financial interests - even if they advise of their bias - may prove to have a counter-productive element - since it may provide a bigger incentive for people not to disclose such interests.
