Disclaimer

I get no remuneration of any sort—money, discounts, products, services, meals, or gift—from any of the vendors or manufacturers mentioned in my blog or books except as specifically noted. Unless otherwise noted, the services, products, and merchants are mentioned purely because they impressed me and I wanted to share the knowledge. Nor do I get any remuneration from the blog itself, other than the satisfaction of bringing joy into the lives of my several readers. In other words: no affiliate links, other than the one case of linking to my own book, for which I do get a royalty. But when I praise (say) some brands of cast-iron or carbon-steel skillets, I get nothing other than the pleasure of sharing the knowledge I derived from my experience.  —  LeisureGuy (his mark)

The above was modified to take care of cases in which a vendor wants to submit a product for review. In such cases, I will explicitly note that the product was given to me for review. This has turned out to be extremely rare, and in some cases the vendor wants a private review to help in his own evaluation of the product. In that case, I will use and comment on the product but not identify it (as in testing a brand of blade: I will comment on the blade’s performance but not mention the brand name).
