Re: Regarding complaint/accusation of treating the list as buy/sell/trade.

Amy,
I wouldn't consider a post from one user on the list to change your list behavior at all. I think there are like 1200 list members on this list, so one member can't possibly speak for the whole list. I'd wait and take your lead from the moderators. For me, your posts have been nothing but professional and appreciated. Also, hopefully in the future, if anyone has such concerns over list usage, they'll take it up with the moderators directly. 


Finally, my experience is that buy/sell lists, where people could try to 
sell their used iPhone, generate a lot of traffic. If such posts were 
allowed on this list, which is already a high volume list, then it would 
be even harder to keep up with and helpful messages would get lost in 
the static. That's just my experience from other lists, but obviously, 
it is up to the moderators.

exactly, just like x app is selling for free or for less price than

wouldn't think selling of used iPhone should be off list. But that's
JMo. Up to the moderator I guess.

It's an announcement. Simple as that. It is not a products for sale or
classified ad.
If list moderators prefer that I do not do this, please afford me
professional courtesy and contact me off list.
If that does happen, then by all means, I will not post such
announcements
in the future.
I have purposefully made it a point *not* to clutter the list with
traffic
that involves marketing/sales of any kind.
I am posting from my personal account, yes, at times making announcements
for my company, but I am not here to market products; which is why I also
participate on the list in ways that have absolutely nothing to do
with the
products that we sell.
If someone happens to ask a question on list about our products, I am not
going to not answer them or provide them support if needed; though I will
ask that in future, in light of this statement, that unless you feel that
your question would be of benefit to list members on the whole, that you
email me off list, or via our web page by using the "contact us," form.
Griping and complaining adds clutter to a list that already has heavy
traffic, and I do not want my company or similar postings to create more
such traffic.

I don't think this is a buy/sell list, and I think mentioning coupons
like this that everyone on the list can take advantage of isn't any
different than people pointing out when accessible apps become free in
the App Store or go on sale. In my mind, this is a lot different than
someone mentioning they have an iPhone 4 or a Verbatum keyboard for
sale, which I wouldn't want to see on the list, but that's obviously up
to the moderators.
