In all fairness, it sounds there like what you're saying is that this is not a buy and sell list. That sentence doesn't sound like you're saying that if a new product comes out it is not to be mentioned here. I'm not disputing the rule, of course, it's your list, but I'm saying that from teh wording, it's not obvious. This is all I'll say on the matter, thanks very much.
