No. I only get pissed at Jonathan because he knows so darned much more than I do.

[Quoted] There is a substantial difference between posting as many do ... help in response to an inquiry and including contact information or a reference to a commercial product that is a direct solution to the problem at hand ... and a message whose sole purpose is to flog a product for which the poster has a [Quoted] direct commercial interest. Vladimir, for example, makes it possible for those who are interested to contact him. But his postings are always on-topic and not just intended to put cash into his bank account. Tom Kyte has mentioned his book numerous times but never once has he posted a message that is just "Buy my book."

Once we tolerate pure commercial postings we will have them every vendor of everything from databases to products claiming to increase the size of various body parts. You either draw the line at no spam or you will get it all.
