What is an AD? Some on this list are well associated with a particular
product or service. Does that mean everything they post is an AD? Others
may not be so closely identified with a particular product. If I mention a

It's good to see yet another discussion of the [AD] [/AD] stuff although
I'm not very optimistic that the discussion will lead to any type of

As a list member I really don't get any value from the [AD] [/AD] tags.

What brilliant marketing there. I'm truly in awe! grin
Seriously though of course, you're right. It is a difficult line...
For example, someone may ask 'I need to do [blah]'.

My last post on this thread. Sorry for consuming techlist bandwidth - I
don't subscribe to the community list, I don't have time or interest.

This is absolutely not a problem between us, my friend.

I think our signature

my full signature on all posts, that way there's disclosure even when

It does make it rather difficult when perhaps the fix to a person's

the position I am advocating. Here's how I see it: when SCIFI.com sends
