Once again I do not believe that an email group, sharing expertise and asking questions which challenge and inform us all, should be used as a sales tool. Such an unsubtle approach destroys genuine comradeship and mutual understanding.
In my viedw you should market elsewhere - there are plenty of opps all over the place. This email group is ace as a group of colleagues who need each other. We do not need a sell. goodbye, richard
