Dear all As has happened in the past, the amount of traffic on this list discussing the merits of a certain type of posting has exceeded the volume of the original posting which caused such discussion. I regret having to do this, but I am going to filter postings related to this topic until things die down a bit. For what it's worth (and returning to the original objection), I believe advertising postings are acceptable on the proviso that they are not generally intrusive and sensitive the main purpose of the list. I would happily consider regulating all advertising if I felt the bounds were being over-stepped by one or two commercial subscribers. So please, can everyone get back to the sort of discussions that normally prevail and the commercial organizations that provoked the debate might like to consider the reaction so far and reflect on their future use of what, by and large, is a useful resource.
