A discussion thread can mean anything, that includes promotions as long as it's still related to the topic. I am not Chris Renfro posting monthly draws or giveaways. I am in no way affiliated with Tom whatsoever, I pass on interesting news to fellow members that I haven't seen discussed yet. Originally the thread was intended to discuss the make of the tip, reviews and questions regarding possible AZ member special prices. But TheRenfro chimed in and turned it into a national debate which changed it off topic. As of now, the promotion I mentioned earlier is only for AZ members and it's a one time sale. I did my due diligence as a member to help others in the community, not to advertise another company.

Then maybe you won't mind apologizing to Tom for getting a shitload of abuse from three jerk-offs that he neither asked for, no deserved.

Are you suggesting he needs to apologize for how others act?

I think this is very reasonable and thanks for explaining.
And, to be honest, there were probably more than enough policemen in this thread without me.
I don't know Tom Hays but he does come across as a sincere guy with a well liked product.

Damn right! He's responsible for this thread. It's on his shoulders how others respond, and to whom they respond.
If you'll look at Article 147, Sub-Section 8, Paragraph 3.842, of the Arizona Billiards Forum By-laws regarding the conduct of posters, you'll see that I'm right.
These rules have been taken much too lightly of late, and something needed to said, so I said it.

My response to the OP was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but you make a good point.
Tom, however, has departed the forum, possibly never to return so any apologies from them would be moot.
Also, I'm a bit taken aback by KC's reference to forum policemen. There were several of us here who stood up for Tom when he was being set upon by the Gang of Three. I don't consider that policing, but rather evening up the odds for a friend.

No worries, it happens. I've received a lot of knowledge from this forum and I do what I can to contribute back to the community. I personally would find it selfish if I'm aware of a promotion and I kept it to myself but that's just me.
If you haven't tried his tips (Ultraskins or SIB), I highly recommend you try them. They have a lot praise for its quality (especially his AZ member only price) among a large number of members here.

Damn, Brian. This smacks of forum policing. Does it not?

Tramp;
this is one of the classic examples where meaning became lost on an internet post.
My reference to policemen on this thread didn't include you at all. I can see now where you might have thought so, though. To put it as plainly as I can, I was put off with Chris Renfro's campaign for truth in labeling seemingly at the expense of a guy (Tom) who seems like a very nice fellow and an asset to the pool industry. And, even moreso, when after learning he was unsure on the very law he is accusing Tom of breaking. 
Me and you are good and, as you know, we go back a l-o-n-g way and have never had and difficulties... well, except maybe that one drunken weekend in Reno where we both competed for two-tooth Sally's affection.
