Sorry, I have a problem with the philosophy that if its good quality and
inexpensive, then its ok to advertise. I'm not offering an answer, nor am
I proposing a total ban on "advertisements." I'd just like to point out
the problem of this kind of judgement. What ads are forgivable and what
ads are condemned? Is it ok for Anne Lipow to "advertise" the availability
of new net books? They're good, and a good value. I'm involved with a
multi-type library group in the SF bay area creating a train the trainers
program. We are non-profit but charge enough to recoup costs. I
"advertise" on the nocall-list and elsewhere. Is this ok?
Also, Dave Gowan suggests that advertisers post a "contact me for my ad"
notice. Not sure that this eliminates any clutter. A post is a post is
a post (a delete key by any other name...).
Oh well, my rant and ramble for the morning.
