To all:
The advertising of gear doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is to have the people involved in "peeing contests"
be compelled to stay OFF the "reply to all" and "CC" keys.
This is a thoughless misuse of other peoples time, energy, moneys and
bandwidth. Moderation of thoughts and consideration of others should be
paramount!
Those are my thoughts on the matter.
