Not being a vendor but a customer I agree in general with David's point of 
view. Though I imagine that people like Mark and Brad, being frequent helpers 
on this list without commercial intent, might a get a bit more latitude when 
mentioning commercial solutions by their employers.

Best regards,

Can't speak for others, but the general rule I've tried to observe is to
mention the solution and provide a URL where people can find out more if
they want, or offer to take discussions of it off-list.
