   Wow, what a completely obvious way to try to steer conversation to your pants with built in pouch pockets.

   I'll grant you that while your first post on this forum "WORKWEAR" was 100% unacceptable, this one is only 98% unacceptable as you are at least waiting for one post in reply before spamming your company info.

   Look, I can see that you have problems with the english language and are Forum Retarded, so let me help you out:

   Go to the search function  on the forum, and look for old posts looking for info about work cloths, tool belts, tool storage, etc.  You are the clothier, you know what solutions you are trying top provide.

   Now, if you find any posts that you feel your product could provide help with, you can post HINTS about your product.  A hint would be "Maybe you need to look at pants with a built in tool pouch instead of a seperate tool belt" or "I've found that pants with a built in kneepad are more comfortable than external ones".  See, that is advice - not direct selling.

   Here is a perfect example of this:  http://forums.finehomebuilding.com/breaktime/general-discussion/soundproofing-ceiling

   Take a look at the posts by TedWhite.  You can see he is

   1. Trying to answer someones question and

   2. Is providing meaningful information.  

   3.  He also has his company affiliation posted in his signature line.

   If 1 and 2 are good, customers will follow the link to in 3.  Ted has a bias, sure, but it is a transparent one that he isn't hiding.

   If you want to generate business from this forum, emulate TedWhite and do the 1-2-3 that I listed for you.

   It's reeeaaallly hard to not insult you now.  But that is like making fun of the Special Education kids.

   You are new to Forums.  Just like a construction site when you are new on the job, shut up and look around to understand how things work.  

   You are also representing a company - what you say or do here can make an impact on your companies income.  When you speak here, we expect you to be a good citizen of the forum.  You can be a dumb kid talking about your car on a car enthusiasts website - that's OK.  You CANNOT act like some dumb kid just out of school working his first real job.  

   You are not chatting with your friends either.  Since you are representing a company here, your sloppyness with punctuation makes your pants look bad.  If your pants reflect you as their spokesperson, I expect them to have one leg shorter than the other, with one pouch held on with a single stitch and the other one welded on with 5 box seams sealing it shut.   The zipper would probably be upside down.

   Look at all of the interaction you've had on this board... has any of it been positive?  As you said:  

   "WOW ... it seems that, no matter what I try to talk or write about in this forum i get always someone who has problems with it."

   Now read the other posts on this forum, is anyone else getting that treatment?  I've given you advice on how to be a better citizen on this board, its up to you if you want to get ripped on more.

   good citizen of the forum

   I'm Swedish and I might see this differently. Can you speak Swedish and puntuate properly in the Swedish ? I have been speaking English for only 6 years.

   By the way I talked about a tool belt .... You have not said anything about this and have been whining like a kid and tried to be like fomrum police in this matter. So just say what you think about the tool belt....

   Even if I am whining like a kid, you - as a representative of your company - have to take a higher road.  You think that's an unfair expectation?  No problem... come here not as a representative of a company trying to sell us pants and talk building with us.  You can talk as much smack as you want then!

   As far as punctuation, I thought they had a better education system in Sweden, but you must have been out having a snowball fight when they went over these:

   "this?????"  You can only use a maximum of three question marks, and only then to emphasize great befuddlement.  Using five question marks in a row for a basic question looking for replies only indicates you are a dork who likes to push the "?" key.

   "I get all this .. wow LOL" and "some information..Do you"  You are all over the place with your use of ellipses.  If you only use two dots, it looks like you made a mistake with a cut/paste operation in moving text around.  This makes the reader have to work harder to make sure they are reading you correctly, because they assume you goofed up somewhere.

   Relatedly your capitalization is all over the place too: "I have been a carpenters myself, it's not wrong to be Observent and i appreciate your comments."

   English is a hard language - I get that.  I'm never going to give you flak about odd spelling or wording in a sentance (like "carpenters" should have been just "carpenter", that extra s means that you have been more than one carpenter).

   Am I the forum police - heck yeah I am!  A forum is only as good as it's members expect it to be, and all of us define it by our contributions.

   So far all you have contributed to this forum is spam.  I've told you what you need to do to be a valued contributing member, and even pointed out a good corporate role model with the posts of TedWhite.  

   All you have been getting in reply to your posts is negative feedback that no one else seems to get, that can be because of (Choose one of the following)

   A.  We hate Swedes here.

   B.  We all secretly work for BLAKLADDER.

   C.  The only people who happened to reply to you are trolls, other nicer people are likely to come along at any moment.

   D.  You've been a jackass who has consistently violated basic forum protocol and ticked off long term members.

   You can pry my tool belt from my cold dead hands.  You crafty swedes amuse me with your pants that have 52 pockets and loops and junk.

   Who wants to walk around with crap from the jobsite all day. What is easier when your going for lunch.

   Dropping the belt or emptying all the fasteners and tools your carrying around in your pants.

   Just doesnt seem very practical to me.

   I do mostly framing so a belt doesn't get in my way, but for finer finish work, kitchens, cabinets, etc. I'll take a Veto tool bag over your pants any day of the week.

   Actually, dropping your pants is easier.
