Hi,
That's still not my point Eleanor. End users shouldn't be allowed to send
adverts for companies, if companies can't advertise themselves. But George has
cleared this up.
All the best
Steve

Personally I think Mo posted this by way of wanting to put out information to
assist people. I cannot speak highly enough of Mo in terms of his technical
knolege and willingness to assist others. He has no financial gain by putting
this information forward and from past threads on OverDrive he is ready to
point out to the OverDrive team when recordings have been sub-standard.

Hi Mike
I don't think Steve was opposed to advertising on list.
Steve did say:
"Companies are not allowed to advertise on this list,
yet end users seem to be able to send adverts from RNIB.
Whatever we say about RNIB being a charity and all that, a sub to
Overdrive having a discount is definitely an advert."
So basically if a member of RNIB staff had posted
the original post, that may have broken the list rules.
But it wasn't RNIB that posted!
So I think Steve's point may be that the no adverts
rule should apply to everyone, and not just a company.
Maybe rule could be based on what the majority of members prefer.
I like to be kept informed so don't have problem with the
advert posts. It's easy to skip whatever doesn't interest.
Regards, Derek

Steve, if you're so opposed to 'advertising' on this list you might
want
to review the contents of your email signature.
