I'm not against marketing or competition, I am in favour of some
guidelines so that people know what is acceptable and what is not. I
would call this "a level playing field", perhaps the description doesn't
travel well, I'm not sure. ISTM that the alternative is slowly
escalating endemic marketing.

You won't find me pushing the boundaries in marketing terms, but you
will see me following where others have led, once it is clear it is
acceptable to do so.
