Yes. I do. As others have noted, [AD] tags ideally should be used to disclose self-interest. When someone replies to a problem with "Hey, try this product" when it should really say "Hey, pay me to try my product", I have a big problem with that. However, since I'm not the list moderator, I make my complaints to the moderator to handle. Chuck, therefore, in his role as moderator, should be one of the few people making these sort of complaints on-list. There are a few people whose posts I completely ignore in the digests because they often fail to mark their ads. I won't name names, but I also won't consider anything they or their company recommends. And please note, Digest readers have no way to filter out messages based on subject or sender, since the digests all come from the list with a subject of "Digest". I must add that I think an off-list reminder should be sufficient in most cases, and that only serious repeat offenders should be called out in public. --Tom Pellitieri Toledo, Ohio ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
