So adding that message in a disclosure some where on a blog should not seem odd. Read RESPA sometime! Yes, it's a pain. BTW, I received no compensation for adding this comment here and have no business relationship with this blog, employees, directors etc. It seems reasonable to me that if you are given consideration to endorse a product then you should disclose that fact.

So do they have to retain counsel to understand and interpret the regulations for their non-commercial site?
