There is a big difference to conditioning people to gain a sale and simply promoting a business in your signature on PT.
The signature space appears to be designed to promote your business and people expect it to be there.
The use of something like religion to engender trust in order to sell you something is immoral in my opinion. It isn't necessarily expected by the recipient and is really done to sucker you in.
When I owned the Property Investor magazine I had a very clear policy of no promoting business in editorials. If a contributor wanted to promote their business they took out an advert.
Some may say that this was a ploy to sell more advertising space, but I also had a policy of no paid advertorials because I don't think they are up-front.
The point I'm trying to make is that promoting yourself isn't bad, but the methods you use can be.
