I've discussed my work in production here in the context of illustrating issues related to audio restoration techniques and technical matters. I've certainly never made it a secret that I've produced various TV projects, rock videos, CDs, etc. But I have no interest in marketing. I just produce the stuff. Since HeadFi is aimed at hardware, not software, and no one has objected before, I didn't even think of it. I freely admit that I love music and enjoy discussing it. If you really feel that I need to put some sort of mention of the fact that I'm a producer, I'd be happy to do that.
By the way, I just looked at that thread you mentioned. I didn't even mention my site, or link to it. I direct linked to mp3s to show people the sorts of performances that are unique to historical recordings. That isn't at all the same as what happened here. I think iPodPJ honestly didn't realize what he was doing. I think VD knows exactly what they're doing.
See ya
Steve
