Aren't we all trying to influence others' decisions every day?

  Can't speak for other people, but I'd like to think I don't. I try to let them make a better decision by sharing relevant information, when I have some. My goal is to let them achieve their goal.

    Yes, and people in the advertising business like to think of themselves as just "sharing relevant information" with you.

      I know, but that's not what I meant. The idea is that if you give useful information to people, they will then do the same for you later. Of course you need to have a good crap filter or it doesn't work.
