Sorry -- was thought it would be obvious that I've taken the pledge Giving What We Can recommends. I'm not quite sure why it matters whether I've taken the pledge or not though. Could you elaborate why I should disclose this explicitly? Also disclosing affiliation seems sensible if I'm promoting a product and I'm going to benefit from others purchasing it. Here I'd be thrilled for more people to join in, but this is akin to telling others about an opportunity to volunteer. Are you thinking there's some conflict of interest? I'm really curious -- thank you for your time.
