George,
You lost me in the first paragraph. I honestly have no idea, apparently like Julian, what you are viewing as freeloaders, self promotion and secondhand promotion. I just honestly have no clue.
I can't do anything with the six paragraphs that follow because I do not understand what they are based upon.
Perhaps a private message to me that fills me in on exactly what you are referencing will help?
