 I'm wondering Bob why we have 
that policy regarding advertising. Was that something the list members voted on 
or just the moderator decided on it or just how did that come into being?  
You're right in that I believe the vast majority do not want this forum to be a 
place where we get inundated with tons of spam advertising. But I'm sure on 
the other hand many listers would be very interested in what Ira, Ben, 
Tim et al have to offer. I for one am always on a continual quest to 
be 'educated' and I'm willing to pay for it. Certainly we can contact them 
offline to find out what each has to offer, but, likewise, often we have no 
idea someone has something to offer unless they 'mention' it here. I, for one, 
found Tim's post very innocuous and appreciated him letting us know 'he's back' 
and how to get a hold of him and what he has to offer.  The majority of 
spam advertisers we've seemed to have here have been the one time 
blatantly hit and disappear type.  Maybe some leniency could be available 
to listers who have been on the forum say for a year+, or who have posted X 
number of times or something similar.  jt

  Advertising
  I have sent two direct mails to the offenders of our no 
  advertising  policy in the past week warning them about violations of this 
   rule.  I remind everyone again that this list has zero tolerance for 
   ignoring this policy and after having sent this out, I will now  remove 
  anyone who violates this policy without notice.  Simply put,  do not 
  mention or brag or talk about your services or products or  anyone else's 
  services or products on this list unless said products  or services are 
  totally free without enhanced, charged services or 
  products.
  Bob
