The listserv definitely should not be used for advertising. I agree and I
do catch many advertisements before they hit the list. However, there are
many that I miss and probably ones that I don't see before they go to the
list. This is due to the new set up where members of the list have
postings sent automatically unless their subscription is set for review. I
have on occasion set a subscription for review if I feel that an individual
is using the list for advertising rather than professional discussion. I
want to thank Peter for bringing this up and encourage anyone to email me
directly if they feel someone is not using the list correctly. These
situations are easily handled.
Thanks,
