Bob,
Your no nonsense attitude has brought a sense of
discipline and order to the list and brought it back
from it's nadir, a fact I am sure everyone will agree
with.
Now if you and the other senior members can come to a
consensus on how to allow providing to the list
members, information regarding bonafide
products/services which can benefit the list
membership - in a transparent manner without high
pressure sales pitches, it will work out fine. There
are people of stature here alongwith whom you can draw
a policy and enforce it.
Regards
Rakesh

I am in favor of invigorating the list as much as you
are John. Iwill do anything the membership wants to
do but it will take someconvincing to cause me to
believe that a majority of our members want tosee any
type of advertising on this list or that the list
would besomehow better with such content. I do waive
this rule at the endof each year for the week between
Christmas and New Years so our memberswho wish to, can
state what they offer and how to access those
servicesor products but how a steady flow of such
information would improve thequality or animation of
the list escapes me.
This list doesn't belong to me or anyone. It belongs
to all of youand if you want unrestricted advertising
on our list, let me know and ifI hear from 50.1% of
you that this is what you want, I'll drop
thatrestriction.

While I in general support the prohibitionon
advertising, I thought Tim’s post was made within the
proper contextfor usefulness. Perhaps zero tolerance
is just a little toooppressive. It is my opinion, and
my opinion only, that the qualityof the discussion has
evaporated over the last several years. Perhaps a
little leeway on this issue, in a contextual basis,
would helpinvigorate the group and discussion a
little. It is just asuggestion in the spirit of Real

Subject: [RT] Re: Advertising
I'm wondering Bob why wehave that policy regarding
advertising. Was that something the listmembers voted
on or just the moderator decided on it or just how did
thatcome into being? You're right in that I believe
the vast majoritydo not want this forum to be a place
where we get inundated with tons ofspam advertising.
But I'm sure on the other hand many listers would
bevery interested in what Ira, Ben, Tim et al have to
offer. I for one amalways on a continual quest to be
'educated' and I'm willing to pay forit. Certainly we
can contact them offline to find out what each has
tooffer, but, likewise, often we have no idea someone
has something tooffer unless they 'mention' it here.
I, for one, found Tim's post veryinnocuous and
appreciated him letting us know 'he's back' and how to
geta hold of him and what he has to offer. The
majority of spamadvertisers we've seemed to have here
have been the one time blatantlyhit and disappear
type. Maybe some leniency could be available
tolisters who have been on the forum say for a year+,
or who have posted Xnumber 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 tolerancefor
ignoring this policy and after having sent this
out, I will now
remove anyone who violates this policy without
notice. Simplyput,
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 orproducts.
Bob
