I'm not sure very many of us object to selling material related to our research. I personally don't like to have solicitations for any type of products on my list, but I realize I am probably a minority in that. I also don't think it appropriate for someone to join the list for the sole purpose of selling. Ive seen several disputes about this on other list that ranged from, Someone expecting the author of the information to be paid a royality because someone had posted information from a book to one list, To someone who apparentlyobtained email list from the list owner somehow and began to send bulg mailings for the purpose of selling information. (after about the 3rd one in a week, that got old). So there is my few words of opinion on the matter. Love the group! Brenda (in the flatlands of Illinois
