I think you have a valid point. though it is rather like being a kiddie in a candy store. if you are in an elevated position in such institutions it may become too much to bare having such temptations put your way. There is an ethical dilemma here. It would be very easy to put it down to basic human nature. But who's human nature? The strong or the weak willed? I think that accepting such payola sends out a vibe to many that it is they the companies and individuals placing adverts and review equipment with reviewers that control your publication and not the editorial staff. for the most part i am with Mr Wazoo!
