Sort of a wrong assumption.  I too thought this was the case,..but as it
turns out there are numerous vendors on RT forum.  There are rules 
about the type of "self-promotional" posts they can make,...and in general 
are limited to typing the URL of their site by their name on an informative 
type post.
  
Many of these vendors (systems writers,..investment advisors, ... brokers,...
or web site advisory service,..etc) are sincere in their desire to share 
ideas,...
and do so openly.  Some of the more worhtwhile posts are provided as a 
result.   You can tell by the posts after awhile who the regular contributors 
are, and it matters not if they have something to sell.   There are a few who 
limit the substance of their "informative" posts to "tidbits" sort of as bait 
for 
new subscribers, but for the most part that is not the case. 

In general though you are correct insofar as no one is "seriously" trying to 
sell anything to anybody.  

Also importantly,..there are a handful of individuals on RT who have made 
their informational or educational site (webpage, etc.) available for others 
to understand or learn from their methodology.   It has been my hope that 
there could be some kind of a reference list of these sites / web pages 
created so that RT members could understand the work of those willing to 
make their sites available (in some cases a username or password might 
be required).  I am wondering if any others on RT have a similar interest in 
seeing this happen,...and if there are, perhaps we could  ask the moderator 
(John oggio) if somehow this collection of URL's could be made a reference 
document for RT'rs.  For instance a list of sites that is made available on 
request,..or when a new person joins RT it is provided,..etc.  Just an idea,
..I would volunteer (be willing to help) if necessary to see this happen. 

Have a good day,   Regards, JIM Pilliod  jpilleafe@xxxxxxx
