Thank you Matt, I was thinking last night that we needed your measured voice in this matter. I remember you being able to 'hose down' heated discussions in the past.

Hey all,
Like Lindsay, I'm getting quite worried that everyone will be scared
off contributing to the WAMUG list for fear of being crucified like
poor Craig.  I haven't met him before, but I can't sit by while he
quite unfairly gets the 5th degree grilling!

I wouldn't say he deserves the 5th degree, but I think that it's simply a reaction to being constantly bombarded with commercial marketing. WAMUG is a place where people can just communicate with each other, without the hassle of being "marketed" at. Seriously... how many places are left in the world were there aren't any Buy Now! buttons littered over the walls.

In all honesty, all it would have taken is a simple preceding email asking what the etiquette is for posting an advertisement.
