Rick and Ghazanfar will, of course, have the last word on this, but MY 
opinion is... NO.  If we did this, why would we not also provide equal 
time for Peter Bradley to push Practical Fishkeeping, Claus to push 
Tropica, or Oliver to push his own personal website or whatever he wanted?

I would say that WE might want to mention in the opening remarks that we 
have several folks visiting from foreign countries and introduce them one 
by one like we've done in the past, maybe even mention if they're peddling 
something, but that's it.
