Hi Carl,

None the less it is still a testament to the caliper of people that

hang out

on this list.  If the engagement is free, I don't see the harm, but

hey, its

not my list and David is King.

It's not free, but I don't think that's really the issue, the cost is 
very minimal. This is only one of the 6 speaking engagements that I 
currently have planned for this year.  And I'll doubtless have more 
before the year is out. And I don't speak that often by comparison to 
several others that are on this list.  Every iSeries users group is a 
not-for-profit organization, but there are quite a few of them, and
most

have monthly meetings that include a speaker.  Imagine the volume of
posts!

Or take it a step further and imagine what would happen if everyone was

allowed to advertise here. Every vendor who had a new product, or had a

promotion for an existing product, was posting it here? And every 
speaker in the iSeries community posted every event here. And every
user

group (remember, this list is used all over the world) posts their 
events here?  Wouldn't that degrade the value of this mailing list?

It would be really cool if David made a rule that said "Scott can post

his stuff here, but nobody else can."   That would be great from my 
perspective -- but I might be a little biased :)
