You highlighted yourself as a trader, I believe that Stu is within his rights to require more proof that you are now not, than you giving away some samples of your products for marketing purposes.
(clearly your aim is product exposure or you wouldnt be so keen to disucss it in public with stu, rather than PM him as is more appopriate)

Apologies if you think its none of my business and only up to Stu to reply, but if that is the case then may I suggest you use the "private messages" function on the forum.


You made a deal with Stu, you are now saying you wont keep your end of that deal, but you expect him to still keep his end of it, I feel that is a big ask personally.
