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 sec@web66.coled.umn.edu ------------------------- 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. <a href="http://Web66.coled.umn.edu/WebMaster.html">Stephen E.
