What you say is correct but to perfectly clear it should be noted that two of
the four moderators here are TS employees. Eddie Dawduik and "jessoff".
Though I have never seen either of them misuse that position to TS benefit or
to suppress disent, it is not true to say: "absolutely no ties to Technologic
Systems."
However, it is true that many people first coming here (very likely from the
link on the TS product pages) are under this impression it is an official TS
group and expect TS tech support here.
I suspect this is almost entirely due to lack of clarity surrounding the link
on embeddedarm.com . It is part of their sales pitch that there is an active
group supporting the boards, and in the context it seems many infer that it is
TS that are providing it.
If TS were unhappy with that , they would presumable make it clear on thier
site.
