What do people think of these? > Are the appropriate? My own feeling is that it is fine to have brief commercial announcements about products or services. They should be informational and brief. But for example, if a vendor has a new version of an Ada compiler, or someone is teaching Ada 95 courses or trying to recruit for an Ada job, that seems fine to me. It is not as though we are overwhelmed by such commercial messages. (we might be more overwhelmed by responses to this post, which comes perilously close to being a troll :-) :-) -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
