smb12, I concur, and did not mean with my use of the "drive-by poster" phase that LoyaltyMatch is somehow illegitimate. For example, in my posting earlier in this thread with my 30-second elevator pitch description of the company, I implied that I thought they had a legitimate business model that might actually pass muster, even though it didn't offer me personally much value that I would choose to take advantage of.

As for FT TOS, I'd be heavily annoyed if a company representative were to jump into all sorts of threads suggesting that his or her company's offerings were just a perfect match for what somebody is looking for, but I'd be pleased if a company were to maintain a presence on a thread specifically started about that company, such as this thread, for example. loyaltymatch can even use FT's feature to subscribe to the thread so that he doesn't have to keep polling the thread to see if there are any new posts, so it'd be easy. Still, I doubt he'll be back....
