Great question!
Full, consistent disclosure is a key point. The old saying that it takes
years to develop credibility and seconds to lose it applies here. If you
have a position or relationship with a product or vendor, that needs to
be mentioned every time you even **approach** the subject. Failure to do
so is going to have people looking sideways at you for a long, long time.

That's a a terrific approach, Matt. Let your actions speak louder than
your words.
