I realize that this discussion is getting a bit long in the tooth so to contribute to that problem....
I think that the point Paul makes still results in crossing the line. If someone asks about certain products and I chime in that I just happen to sell them then I have crossed that commercial line. It's fair to point them to someone else with whom you are not associated commercially. We seem to return to this topic on a regular basis. There have been examples in the past where people wandered over the line without comment. I'm fairly certain that if it happened this time the list would not have gone straight in the toilet. I also don't mind someone reminding us of one of our most basic rules. I think that what really got things stirred up this time is Leland's elevated status on this list. I'm sure that he had no intention of offending anyone and that very few were really hurt. The bottom line is that we have what to me is a clearly defined rule that we need to enforce to maintain the quality of this list.

I've been wondering about some of this. I organize classes for my FFF club and would like to post notices here but am reluctant to do so. I would however feel free to do so in response to a question about learning things offered in one of our classes (as Leland did) Have fun Paul
