Easy-it's hawking a product for profit or sale and I get more than a few
messages regarding this product. Once is enough. Just like on other sites.
There are probably many people on this list that could advertise for their
musical products but don't. Steven Hayes for instance-but you never see him
sending e-mails re: purchase of his preamps unless specifically asked to do
so and I've never seen his name crop up unless he asks someone to contact
him off-list. On any other list this act would result in a suspension or
removal from the list.
If I need to unsubscribe in order to not receive magazine ads I'll do so and
the list administrators can advise me.
