The salesman popping in once seems better to me than the neighbor who always shows up whenever you're discussing Football to say all the ways Soccer* is better (every... single... time) . But at least we can block the neighbor equivalent on here, can't do that to the person you don't know yet.I don't know. I just feel like this place is a community and to come here just to sell something feels disrespectful - like the difference between a door-to-door salesman trying to get you to buy new phone service vs. the neighbor's kid offering girl scout cookies.
* Or insert Football and American Football as appropriate.
