Jaime,
You wrote: " What about employers (or companies) using the list simply

a couple
of times a week? What would you consider out of hand?"
Yup. If you want to post about sales and marketing stuff I think you
should have an active role in other discussions from which you do not
profit. This shouldn't be a classifieds list.

That would be MindSites Group, which owns the GeoCommunity website. I
am the owner of MindSites Group, so I guess that would mean that I own
this list as well. :)

What about employers (or companies) using the list simply for sales,
marketing, jobs, etc, without otherwise contributing to the list? If
someone never posted to the list except for marketing messages a couple
of times a week? What would you consider out of hand?

This is exactly why I started this thread. Some direction may be
needed.
I replied directly to you since you replied directly to me, since I was
unsure if you meant to keep this off the list. If not, I'll go ahead
and repost this reply to the list as well.
