Bob,
 
Agree that the list has to be protected from spammers and scammers but Jim White, Ira, and Clyde hardly fall into this catalog.  All have shown a willingness to share thought provoking ideas based on their considerable knowledge and experience - the kind of posts that have kept the list alive as low volatility caused decreased participation over the last few years.  I feel whatever mention of their product or service that has been attached to their posts is transparent and secondary to the ideas being shared.  One can elect to go to their web sites or contact them - or not. Its not as if they are trolling the list to suck in newbies.  I have never bought anything from these three gentlemen but I have gained an insight or two on pivot trading from the free descriptions of his methods on Jim White's site and I have incorporated Clyde Lee's Length Of Swing into my trading when he made it available for free several years ago.  And Ira's repeated, gentle advice to reconsider obviously ill considered, impulsive trading ideas has, I suspect, saved a few newbie pocketbooks - and always with the humility of "one man's opinion."  Simply put, these guys and a few like them, are the backbone of Realtraders.  As anyone who has actually achieved  success in the markets knows, it usually takes years to achieve consistent profits and often, a helping hand from those who have and are willing to share their ideas and experience.  Let's be careful not to kill the list by impuning the motives of our most valuable contributors.   
 
I am sure that your position as list moderator is, for the most part, a thankless job.  I don't doubt your intent to protect the list but as I think is now apparent, many long time list members, myself included, feel you have overstepped your role on this occasion.
 
Regards,
Jim Alvis
