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 third party product with which I have no fiduciary relationship, is that an AD? On the other hand, if I recommend a product that I happen to sell, I think that pretty clearly qualifies as an AD.
Here are my thoughts: Unsolicited ads for products or services should clearly be marked as such. A response to a query, which contains a reference to a product or service, from the sale of which the responder stands to benefit, should disclose that fact. A referral to a third party product or service, where there is no remuneration to the referrer is simply a referral, not an AD.
