I say share and enjoy after all we are so limited as to accessing information so these lists are a must for more than just having problems with tech issues. As you say Jackie use the delete if you don't want to read the post but let others get help from each other.

Mo, as far as I personally am concerned, send info to the list, and let people who sell products like Steve do the same. At the end of the day, it's about sharing information, and there is a delete key if people don't want to read it. If they don't want to purchase what Steve or anyone else sells, that's their choice, but if we know it exists, surely our decision to enquire and take it from there is all the more informed for knowing in the first place. So long as people are respectful to others, surely there is room for sensible advertising of all goods and services applicable to this community. That's my take on it, but I don't moderate so will go away and read my book now! (smile).
