Steve, Peter and I have tried to do it the polite and genteel way. 
Wouldn't disagree with your point

No? Who would have guessed it?
The line is drawn where there are direct links to a suppliers site and the only post is simply saying - go there.
Here, Chris had spent some time trying to explain his absence and his developments and made a promise to look into advertising, something which other 'spammers' have no interest whatsoever in doing. Like I say it's a fine line and I think I, at least, have a reasonable eye to tell when someone is being genuine or simply taking the peas. IF - Chris is in the latter group, then sadly he will be excommunicated, turned out into the street without gowns of any kind.
But he's a Yorkshireman, straight as a die - I hope.

Sorry Jeff - I still don't understand!
As far as I can see the only point of the original post was to promote product. Direct or indirect link to the product, it is still spam to me!!
I know of people who have been banned from sites for less spam than this!!!

Thanks guys, reading back I can appreciate some of those concerns.
I just think that I've found something that works and from my own personal point of view its an opportunity to inform and explain what it is,does etc.
Some might see that as advertising because ultimately our Company could benefit? But in reality anybody else (except the creator?) can inform and share information about any other product, or anything and everything in general to do with angling without much concern.
I would much rather talk openly and honestly about things and answer questions with integrity. Much better I hope you will agree than to use contacts to start threads and spam the hell out of the forums for example - there would be no self respect in doing anything like that.
In defence of Jeff...
The product in question has been 3 years in development but this forum is where it was first ever mentioned. - there is a good reason for that!
Questions and answers then followed.
Being new, nobody else is qualified to answer but everybody is entitled to ask.
Its nice to share something which people might benefit from, and to me that's what most anglers do anyway- share knowledge, offer suggestions, help and advice to others etc. and who better than the creator of a product to explain things?
Not everyone will agree but hopefully most will as the opportunity is not just mine alone.
Thanks guys.
May all your fishes be bigger tomorrow!

The wife is related to the late Lady Frost...its true, we have snobbery in our family too
a box could be yours but only if you do solemnly swear that you do not compare family trees?
A statement to that effect is all it takes, fair enough m'lud?

Well Mr Laguna
I can honestly say I'll never compare family trees with you - I know who my grandads were and lets' say they both didn't think twice about tellin folks whre to go - or giving them a helping hand (fist) to get there
