      Commercial Advertiser Removed from LM_NET


Rod Beaumont <PARGROUP@aol.com> has been removed from LM_NET.

Mr. Beaumont has again posted a commercial message to our list in
violation of our LM_NET Netiquette Guidelines.  It seems Mr. Beaumont
has decided to ignore advice from the Hospitality Committee and
our guidelines.

You may want consider his lack of respect for LM_NET membership
before conducting any business with his organizations.

My appologies for the interruption,

Stephen E. Collins
LM_NET Hospitality Committee

-------------------------

LM_NET members are reminded that commercial postings are not
permitted on our list.   When you subscribed to LM_NET, you
should have received a copy of the LM_NET Netiquette Guidelines.
Below are the items regarding commercial messages.


15. You should feel free to engage in general theoretical discussions about the
list topic, but should refrain from  turning their replies into commercials for
their own products.

Commercial messages  are absolutely _not_  allowed unless approved by  the list
owners. Any persons  posting commercial messages will be dropped  from the list
immediately.

16. If  a user posts the  question "Does anyone have  information about program
X?", the producer of program X  should send information directly to that person
by e-mail rather than posting the information  to the list. If the person finds
value in your  product, they will probably share their  pleasure with the other
LM_NET members.

17. If a user posts the question "I'm looking for a program that does X, Y, and
Z", reply directly to the individual.

18. Producers should avoid negative comments about their competitors' products.

If producers,  or any list  member, are uncertain  of the appropriateness  of a
message  to be  posted, they  should feel  free to  contact one  of the  LM_NET
owners.

19. Producers should not contact LM_NET  members as a result of obtaining their
e-mail  addresses from  LM_NET postings,  or from  the LM_NET  members list  or
LM_NET Archives. Those that do so will be dropped from the list, and their lack
of etiquette will be publicized on LM_NET.
