since the list is moderated I'm pretty sure my posting has
reached them. The subject affects all subscribers, therefore posting
to the list was the right thing to do. In fact, I only responded to
a thread started by someone else.

Since I didn't append the ad, I was obviously not targeting a specific
product or vendor. I was trying to point out that the way in which
the advertising is done is not only morally questionable but also
poorly thought out, and that a clear separation of message and 
advertisement would be beneficial not only to posters but to advertisers
as well.

Since your company is an advertiser, maybe you could get SF to follow
Amit's original request.

Bye,

Anything below this line was appended by someone else and is not
at all my opinion.
