Hi Baron, Obviously I respect ET's perogative to advertise. I would like to know if these marketers that join in the thread topics are required by ET to display an identification of their company name. It's annoying enough that these marketers participate in these threads with the obvious and only motivation for selling their products. So if this ID is not a requirement, how can we (the members) acurately point out the spammers? Actually, I wouldn't mind if you banned "in forum" advertising altogether, but as I said, I appreciate your perogative, as annoying as it may be. Thanks for listening -kt
