It seems there are multiple ways of looking at the issue of characterization. I, for one, think that when someone says:
"Now, what does all this tell us about the two products, and those who use them?"
someone is clearly characterizing.
If the quote said *some* of the people who use them, it was strike me as less of a characterization ("identify" might be a better word there), but there's a broadness to "those who use them," that seems to be doing a whole lot of characterizing to me. For what it's worth. Since my intentions are clearly so corrupt.
Particularly unusual in this characterization, by the way, is making broad statements about a group of people-- "those who use them"-- based on message board postings of a total of a dozen people, if not less...
