What I meant is "It should not matter to anyone in their decision
whether to try this product or not. They should rely on people's
experiences posted in this list." I was not talking about list
administrative issues. And of course this is my feeling/opinion
(as it is with everything I post here).

advertising on lists whose function is to provide a place for people to
share their experiences, I feel that it's very much out of place and
against the intentions of the group. But then, I don't run the group.
