Sooooooo, if someone not associated with your software company was to say 'you know this product has a feature that would do that' it would be OK, but you cannot say the same thing? Personally, I don't see a problem with you giving that information in response to someone's request. That is not the same as unsolicited advertising, which would be an issue. Jon
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Gord Tomlin Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2011 11:49 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Ads on IBM-MAIN I suspect that the reference to a post from a software company is referring to a post I made on Monday on a thread started by Hilary Hurwitz with the subject "Z/OS Newbie question". The OP was looking for a facility that would provide "a list of modules used and which libraries they were taken from". Gerard Postpischil replied with "The short answer to this is that it's not possible." Since we have a product feature that provides this very function, I felt that it was relevant to provide the information, and I marked my post as a "shameless plug", since I was mentioning a feature of one of our products. I have already communicated with the owner of the listserv on this matter. Nevertheless, if members of this listserv believe this post to be inappropriate, I will not make any similar posts in the future. My intent was to inform, no to offend. -- Regards, Gord Tomlin Action Software International (a division of Mazda Computer Corporation) Tel: (905) 470-7113, Fax: (905) 470-6507 On 2011-07-06 10:57, Pommier, Rex R. wrote: > I'm with you, Mace.
