Why ban advertising?
Because the number of spammers and their ability to generate high
volumes of email exceeds your tolerance for junk.
You would have to leave the list if there were no ban on advertising.
If you want more information about someone's skills, run a google
search, and write them directly off the list to request their adverts.
As much as I respect Tim Morge and his skills, the ban on advertising
is a good policy and easy to maintain.

The Morge post is exactly why the whole idea of banning is retarded. Why
would anyone object to this type of info from Morge? Really why???
Where the hell would any of us be without Welles Wilder. Larry Williams, Sam
Tennis, Murray Rugerio, etc etc etc. Everyone here got knowledge from those
that went before them. Just because now you think you have enough knowledge
is no reason to deprive those coming after you.
It can't possibly hurt anyone, but post like Morges may help a lot of
others. Again why would anyone want to ban this type of help for others???

Earl and other RT members:
In no way did I intend to start or contribute to this vast amount of
bandwidth discussing this non-trading issue.
The ONLY forum I posted the announcement to, other than my own, was RT,
because I have been a member since the very beginning and a handful of
people had recently privately emailed me asking me what the heck happened
to me. In no way did I intend what I posted to be spam or solicitation of
any product or firm.
I am saddened that I have now been labeled a "spammer" on this list. That
being said, I understand Bob's concern for having control of a forum that
he runs, and I know how difficult it is to "put the genie back in the
bottle," so I defer to his judgement. I thought I had done a good job
"cleansing the message I posted and apparently, I was wrong. If I offended
any of you, you have my sincere apologies.
Because of the business involvements that fill my days [and generally,
half
my nights] it is very difficult to discuss trading in any sense without
touching on some concept, site or product I use in my business activities,
so the filtering has become near impossible for me--maybe it's easy for
others. I'm just being blatantly honest.
Often, when I want to chime in, I hold off because I can't post a chart on
a specific piece of software, etc. So rather than cross what may be the
"line," I just stand back and watch. Honestly, I think myself and many
others are in the same boat and would contribute, but do not or cannot,
because we don't want to cross the line but are so entwined with what we
use that to post without showing what we use would be pointless and,
truthfully, take 250 percent longer to post, with less content.
But, the important thing, one more time.: After ready Earl's post, it
strikes me that my judgement was apparently incorrect. I apologize for the
post. I hope you all go back to discussing trading under the rules your
moderator sets for you.
Best,
Tim Morge

This discussion appears to have been brought about by a post from Tim
Morge for whom I have great respect. Tim contributes a great deal to his
own Median Line forum, however Tim does not post to this newgroup. I
thought that the "Open Letter to MedianLine Readers" belonged on the
MedianLine newsgroup.
I suggest that spammers continue to be shot on sight and that a tight
reign be maintained on advertising and self promotion ... the last deluge
of self promotion from Ron Janesch is a good example of what is properly
banned from this newsgroup.
I think that newsgroup members should be permitted to discuss products
and/or services in the context of trading discussions. A "setup" for such
discussions should result in bannishment.
I would continue to permit the kind of text signature used by Clyde Lee
but nothing more obvious or detailed ... banner ads should not be
tolerated.
