I've never had a problem with posters mentioning their products, and even
promoting them on the list. If they post often and every time push their
products, thats too much, but an occasional mention such as in this thread,
is not offensive - and I think the majority of posters would agree. I also
find it helpful, as I never heard of Xtinct before. Now I know that Xtinct
is available if the company I work for needs a product like that.
I know several have come down hard on a few people promoting their products,
and they toned down and didn't mention their products except on rare
occasion. Also, as in the posting below, I think it might help others to
know about their products. I know some of the best answers to questions
come from people who work for vendors, like the late Bruce Black, or some of
the many IBM posters.

Why not a private solicitation off list? I've relegated one TPV to my
trash bin for this.

I don't like to advertise on the listserv, but since UHC is already a
T-REX
customer, you might want to check out our Xtinct product. It will wipe
data
(make it Xtinct!) on tape and/or disk.
