Sorry MadHat, but I've got to agree with Chris on this one.  Now if we 
were to start seeing a post a day on this I'd probably swing back to 
your side.

Under a strict "if it's not general discussion" rule then my forward 
about VMware having training in Dallas a few days ago would be Spam as 
well.  I think some FYI type of posts are good for our whole group and I 
agree with your attempts to NOT allow this list to become a marketing 
channel.
