Dear List,

Art carefully thought about the direction of this List and asked for a
consensus before making the once a week advertisement rule. After asking
for input from subscribers, he set the rule realizing the List would soon
turn into a spamfest without it. If he thought it was important enough to
make this rule, then users who post to this List should abide by it, after
all, it is Art's creation.

As members of this Forum, users agreed to post advertisements only once a
week. Those who post ads more than once a week are going against something
they agreed to, breaking a promise. How can people who break promises ever
be trusted to do the right thing?

Please show some respect to Art and those involved in the consensus. There
are probably 20 different users posting ads once a week with a couple
thinking they are above the rules posting two or more. If everybody posted
three to seven times, then 60 to 140 ads would have to be waded through each
week, a true spamfest! Over advertising in this type of environment will
only serve to turn off the audience nullifying the affect.

If those who break this rule think they are somehow special, are above
everybody else and these rules do not apply to them, let them gain
permission from Art otherwise they should be called on breaking a promise.

Take Care,

Adam
