No problem, personally, I’m glad to see you responded
professionally – I almost didn’t say anything because many people would have
kept fighting it, getting defensive, etc causing a huge shouting match.

By the way... NOT trying to be a wise guy or anything, but... if an
RIA Development group is
the wrong place to post an RIA development
tool (whether it's for
sale or not) where is the "right" place?
I would think you would go through the usual channels –
develop a Web site and market it with links from other sites - develop
partnerships, pay for space on their site, target Google searches, etc., and
use other non-spam marketing techniques. I think the main problem here is your
purpose for posting the information about your product was to market a product
you are selling. I think if you offered it free, most people wouldn’t
have a problem with you posting information about it here.

Fair enough Jason, I honestly didn't think it would be frowned upon
or I wouldn't have posted. But if this group is
used to seeing
messages posted about free tools all the time then
I guess just the
act of posting here would imply 'free.' My
bad, sorry for any
confusion or spamishness. Since new messages
to the group are
moderated I assumed it would get rejected if there
were any rules
against it. Won't happen again.
