Well, I took my time and watched the videos but did not see how the answered 
any of the questions that were asked. Hence my post.

If I had tried insulting him, I would consider taking your advice. As it is, I 
would still like the question answered.

Is the device running non-Free apps? Is it running Free audio apps that have 
been customized? What?

I am all for people investing money into Free software and making money on the 
same. Cool with me. Announce your cool offerings here too. Fine by me.

But Ken asked some specific questions and the post offered two videos in 
answer. I was interested in the answers to those questions and invented my 
currently limited time in watching them to see if i could learn the answer. I 
didn't but would still like to.

So, were the questions answered but I was just too dense to see the answers? 
Or was that an irrelevant post promoting that hardware? If it was, it would 
be the irrelevant bit I have a problem with, not the promotion per se.

And I did phrase the original post in the form of a question on purpose. I was 
asking if it answered any of the questions because I am interested in the 
answers. (Perhaps the spam bit was ill advised anyway but it is a pain to 
watch such videos looking for the answers when time is short and find them 
more promotional rather than informational in nature.)

If anyone feels I need to be taken to task even more after this further post, 
let me know, especially those of you who have known me over the years.
