Actually, advertising *is* a part of this list. However, it needs to remain only a small part. To have even a prayer of being acceptable, advertisments need to be directly relevant to this community, i.e. they must have something to do with MapInfo or GIS or to a particular message thread. They must have information content and not be full of eye-tripping layout and lemon-scented buzzwords. It's the difference between writing to individual people who happen to be in a group as opposed to broadcasting to eyeballs. One-way broadcast ads posted by people who never participate in discussions don't qualify. Do that and you'll earn a BFNB branding. But those who follow and occasionaly join the disscusions here shouldn't feel put off to recommend their wares or others' when it's relevant. -- - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.gisnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 3221
