 when you see someone post and ask about a service, which is seeking info from
 other traders, and you respond with what your firm offers, then that is a
 misuse of the list and a violation of the rules.   If every broker out there
 joined the list and did this, then that would be the end of the list.   If
 someone posts and asks specifically is their a broker who could contact them,
 then fine, otherwise I personally feel what you did violates the spirit of
the
 list.

I heartily agree with the above. This is not the first time this individual
has done this
(posting "private" mail to the entire list).  I'm a broker. If I posted every
private email
touting my company to the list I would quickly swamp this forum in self-
proclaiming spam. Enough already.
