While I've occasionally plugged Touchtone products in response to a
question, it's never been any more aggressive than "Product X will do that
for you" or "Thanks for the help; in the next release, Product X will have
feature Y." Or, when I was actually ASKED about a product, I simply
referred the interested party or parties to our website.

I certainly never went as far as "You need Product X because if you don't,
you'll get caught with your pants down," or similar hard-sells. Nor do I
ever intend to; I'm a programmer, not a pitchman.
