For the record, in case anyone is misunderstanding me, I don't think commercial / F/OSS should matter in this regard. Product announcements are product announcments. Anyone else have an opinion? On Wednesday 08 October 2003 09:19 pm, Robert Cummings wrote: On Wed, 2003-10-08 at 23:51, Evan

I tend to think that PHP-specific product announcements are fine, so long as they are courteous enough to prefix the subject with [ANNOUNCE] as is standard on many lists. This allows those who don't want this content an easy way to filter (whether automatically or manually by scanning subjects).
