Of course I had a reason. I was trying to reach as many people as possible to improve my chances of finding someone interested in the specific exchange that I am interested in. I tried to target a more specific audience: those already engaged in discussion related to the Vortex Razor LHT. After having been messaged privately by another moderator, I understand that I violated some kind of policy now.
May I ask, what indicates to you that I want to cheat somebody?
