Bob:
While I in general support the prohibition
on advertising, I thought Tim’s post was made within the proper context
for usefulness. Perhaps zero tolerance is just a little too
oppressive. It is my opinion, and my opinion only, that the quality of
the discussion has evaporated over the last several years. Perhaps
a little leeway on this issue, in a contextual basis, would help invigorate the
group and discussion a little. It is just a suggestion in the spirit of
Real Traders sharing their experiences.

John J. Lothian

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.
