Not wishing to be pedantic, but if a member of the list asks for advice of 
fellow members of the list, should it not be permissible
to advertise or mention a vendor's own products?

It is fulfilling the request of the questioning member, and as long as the 
claims are not far fetched or wildly wide of the mark
(surely no vendor would do that!!) then at least the product's functionality 
will be truly described rather than hearsay.

For instance there have been various questions about Baby products - a lot of 
the comments were guesses about what could be done or
if there were other similar tools available.

Surely by letting the relevant companies mention their own products in reply to 
these posts will shorten the amount of time the
point is being discussed - obviously third party comment about the product 
validity for purpose is also useful, but this way a lot
of hearsay and rumours are prevented.

If an vendor becomes too frequent with his or her adverts and appears not to 
take the list seriously then I'm sure matters can be
taken care of.

(I tend to ONLY mention testing tools when the subject is apt - and then not 
too much I hope.  Well at least no-one has rebuked me
yet!!)

This is NOT the place to be advertising one's own products!
