It seems I was overcritical in my analysis of BFlannagan's endorsement. The favor he was referring to was posting that the Far Par driving range and mini golf is now open. 

He says his opinion about the mini golf there is his opinion and not a bogus endorsement done as a favor. 

(A slow internet connection prevents him from snapping back at me here and putting me in my place.)

I apologize, Bill.

We do get a lot of overtly promotional posts on PDD, and we attempt to keep it in check so the site doesn't turn into a big commercial. In trying to do what's best we sometimes over-police things and misread intentions, however. Bygones.
