Hi Andrew, I respectfully disagree with the idea of "vendor interference". Since third-party products related to FrameMaker are part of many workflows, I don't think it is inappropriate at all to talk about them on the list. To put the shoe on the other foot, if someone posts a difficulty with their MIF2Go process, and you know that ePublisher can solve their problem, I think it is more than appropriate for you to point this out. Although some may see this as self-serving on your part, it still serves the overall purpose of the list, which is to help people solve FrameMaker-related problems. We all know that Jeremy is biased towards MIF2Go, but I still find it beneficial to read how it may solve a particular problem. This kind of information can be valuable for me down the road. If he, or any other vendor, overstates their case, there are others on the list that can and should point that out.
Overall, I think it is good practice for vendors to monitor the FrameMaker lists and be ready to contribute, especially if the discussion involves their products. It gives them credibility as being in touch with FrameMaker users and ready to help provide solutions. BTW, I am not the list moderator, so I only expressing my opinion :-).
