Since the "Wizard of Lodz" is so keen on directing the list manager to perceived - and certainly in one case totally invented - malpractice on the behalf of other list contributors[1], I would like to propose that it is a "hand-on-heart" rule that any poster promoting a commercial product[2] should declare any pecuniary interest.
While I fully concur with your intent, the practice might make that a bit difficult. Generally I find out what I have a pecuniary interest in only after I receive and review monthly statements from my trust company, who switch investments based on their computer projections with no input from me. Additionally, many holdings are mutual funds, and finding their holdings can be quite time consuming, and generally not worthwhile. I would hope that many other contributors are in a similar situation with 401k plans.
The best we can hope for is for posters to reveal their known previously Undisclosed, Secret Support (USS) payments. <g>
