Perhaps we could have a volunteer who could gently steer newbies or mild violations in the proper direction without getting too harsh on them? Or a Luau List Ettiquette article that can be gently worded and sent to offending parties? In all fairness, I personally don't see any problem with the occasional commercial posting, providing it is related to the list, such as the infrequnt links to job openings of interest to non-MS IT professionals or announcments of open-source bases businesses and entrepenuers. I wouldn't want to see these postings everyday, but a couple of them in any given week doesn't seem unreasonable. Just my 2 cents worth =-) Rob __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More http://faith.yahoo.com
