"I don't like having to include my real estate affiliation info on the list. It DOES look like a cheap attempt to advertise." Yes, it does look cheap, Melani. Over the past few years, had you been a citizen adding to public community discussions on the public list; of course, this law would not have applied to you as a real estate licensee. It is quite clear that the intention of the law covers "advertising or marketing" rather than the plutocracy ideology and Penn propaganda you regularly espouse. Now that it has become clear that your signatures, for several years, were indeed intended as a form of "cheap advertising," I'm thinking that you may have been in violation of this law. You have not been including "PA License Number AB048377L" while advertising cheaply on this popular public listserv.
I've worked with many recovering criminals trying to rejoin "normal society." If I can help you, please don't hesitate to seek me out. I will not hold your past ideology or affiliations against you if you sincerely want help. But I will try to help you understand principles of transparency, honesty, representative democracy, etc. Have you heard any rumors that anti-trust laws are about to be broken here in the district? Any info would be appreciated. Yours, Glenn
-----Original Message-----Liz, I don't like having to include my real estate affiliation info on the list. It DOES look like a cheap attempt to advertise. In the past, however, I believe that you have agreed that the ID was required - and you have certainly used yours. At the Greater Philadelphia Assn of Realtors annual meeting last Friday, a PA Real Estate Commission attorney told us that we DO have to identify ourselves and our firms on the internet if we are "marketing." He prosecutes licensees who don't identify themselves. And who's to say what could be considered "marketing?" If you or I or another Realtor speak up on the list about real estate related issues (as Wendell McKenzie did), property issues, home care issues, etc., where we have professional expertise, it's best to identify ourselves as real estate licensees to be sure that we don't violate the law. I think it's always safer to disclose too much, than too little. To avoid any possibility of violating the law, always use the ID info, according to the prosecutor. Here's a section of the guidelines: GUIDELINE OF THE STATE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION INTERNET ADVERTISING Given this age of electronic communication, the Commission developed this Guideline to address communications and advertising via the web, e-mail and other medium. ........ ......4. A licensee using any Internet electronic communication for advertising or marketing, including but not limited to e-mail, e-mail discussion groups, websites and bulletin boards, must include on the first page of all communications the following data: a. the licensee’s name; b. the name of the firm with which the licensee is affiliated as that firm name is registered with the commission (abbreviations are not permitted); c. the city, state/province, and *country in which the licensee’s office is located; and d. the regulatory jurisdiction(s) in which the licensee holds a real estate broker or salesperson license (*including the licensee number). * Although not required, recommended Adopted by the State Real Estate Commission, this 15th day of November, 2005.
