Folks, As a long time user of snort and of some of your products, I concur with Randal's points 100% To clarify my own feelings on what should or shouldn't be allowed, I offer: 1. If you wish to advertise "Open Source" products, fine. 2. If you wish to advertise "Free" products that are not open source, use your tag line. One line should be sufficient. 3. If you wish to advertise your commercial offerings, buy your advertising like everyone else. Most mailing lists are 'sponsored', and I for one would have no problem with this for snort users. 4. Yes, more than 4 lines in a tag line is 'rude' by net standards, which most of your are guilty of (I have *gasp* 5, so I too am a little rude by definition). But many companies use this as a business card, and certainly believe 'more' is better. I don't. This is email, I don't need someones phone number and if I do, I'll email a request for one. As I am getting quite bored with this conversation, I think the moderators should turn the focus onto whether or not to allow sponsors to the list. This should work for most folks I would think. P.S. Trimming email messages isn't bad idea either, if the attrition gets lost use the archives...

If your software isn't open source, STFU and don't waste bandwidth. Pay for your ads somewhere else instead of taking the hard work of others, adding a pretty clicky button, and saying you have the best product in town and slapping a price on it.Sincerely, Eric Hines, GCIA, CISSP CEO, President Applied Watch Technologies, LLC 1095 Pingree Road Suite 221 Crystal Lake, IL 60014 Toll Free: (877) 262-7593 Fax: (847) 854-5106 Cell: (847) 456-6785 Web: www.appliedwatch.comEmail signatures more that 4 lines are just rude. Equal to advertising in my book, only done way more often. Randy
