Well, I see it a bit differently. While it's definitely an advantage to all
of us to have suppliers stay in business (especially those offering quality
products at discount prices), IMO (in my opinion) NFI (no financial
interest) means no hidden financial interest, like being a stockholder,
employee, owner, etc.
There are several people on this list who are suppliers (or employees of
suppliers), normally they disclose such things when they might be relevant.
NFI is the negative of this disclosure.
