If has been a policy as long as I've been a member here and a little
advertising is like a just being a little pregnant. Once it starts,
it's hard to stop it. I think that most members enjoy this shelter
from the constant barrage of ads and pumps and touting ... even though I
agree with you that some of our longer term members do offer real
services and very likely, good services, there is no grey in this issue
and if I allow that little grey to crawl into our list, it will be a
little pregnant.

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

- Subject: 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.
