Default An example of a poster's "advertisement"

If it were a pond book and a regular poster, I would think it unusual
and pass it. If it were a first post, I am not sure. Perhaps take it
up with the other moderators. My concern would be that it is a whole
post advertising. If a first post were of this sort and were followed
by a second advertising post, I would send the second back and assume
that the poster is advertising by hiding his wares in 'personal'
correspondence. Covert ads would not be appropriate in a pond
discussion group.


That my attitude.

Nick, out of curiosity, was the ad run in a moderated chess news forum? If
so, was it passed or denied? ~ jan
