such as:

WARNING: I make a living selling/installing parts for Porsche Boxsters.
This is totally uncalled for.

These people are experts because they make a living working on these cars and while it is true they are here to incite business, they are also here to inform and educate. It is up to the consumer to research and judge if the information given here is valid and the adviser is sincere. In this case, the man was giving free advice with no intent in his statement to sell anything.

Would you prefer if some backyard mechanic gave out advice who "thinks" they know, only because they don't make money at working on Porsches?
