Anyone who had read my posts knows I support and prefer local business, which is probably not the "norm" for my age group - I avoid the Wal-Marts of the world at all costs...

Being vested in your business means face-to-face exchanges. I think it's great when business owners chime in on a thread, whether it's to clear up a situation or to thank people for their input (good or bad). But starting a thread... eh... it strikes me as odd. I asked questions - before making assumptions - because I wondered if there was more to it... (i.e. marketing a new product.)

I agree - starting a thread with a reason (ie: new product / specials / etc) is fine. Adding a comment when the thread is idle to bring it back to the top of the list would again be ok if your comment gave some value. My two cents is simply this - give people a reason to talk about you they will, simply asking them to talk about you doesn't have the same effect.
