I am deliberately provocative to insist on the fact that marketing, in the sense of "promoting" an object or a concept is necessary to ensure the dissemination of these objects or concepts.
If we want RES to develop, we have to find promotional arguments. And the financial arguments will necessarily be weighty arguments ...
I fully agree with you, emlaurent.
The content of my previous messages tried to explain to GIstudent (that would explain the slightly warlike side, right?) what were the a priori that the word "marketing" could have had in people sensitized to ecology.
He presented to me his vision of things that I did not contradict but completed, each medal having its reverse.

If you go back to the thread of the subject, Geoffrey, you will realize that the only negative reactions (suspicious more than provocative) were mainly due to the method that you used and that could have been taken for mass mailing. You explained yourselves on this and since then, I have seen on this subject only attempts at constructive debate.
On the other hand, speaking of provocation, the following quotation does not seem frankly constructive to me:
GIetudiant wrote:... where well I will keep them to myself if the idea of reading an account of a general spam operation by an MBA marketing student gives you nausea
I have a few comments about this sentence (and the general tone you use elsewhere):
- smileys do not necessarily excuse everything written before.
- the basic principle of a forum is voluntary and united participation to advance an idea, a debate. When you arrive with a project ultimately linked to the sale, you ask volunteers to work for you, the least thing would be to do it with humility and kindness. What is not necessarily your method from the start, I am not the only one to say it.
Anyway, if you could try to change it a bit, I think more people would be inclined to volunteer 10 minutes of their time to complete your questionnaire ...
