However, had he done so, I have no doubt that he would have been accused of blatantly pushing his product. He was in a no win situation. >I also think there are rules on this list about selling products. I may be >wrong. When I read Mark's post about sending information, and an audio tape, I wondered if he was connected with the product too. However, I didn't think he was 'pushing' it. >I don't like censorship either, unless I get to BE the censor, so I get to >see everything myself! :-) Nor do I like censorship, or dishonesty. Unfortunately, when someone is 'set upon,' in an open forum, a form of censorship is imposed. I know several people who have either signed off the list, or are hesitant to post because they don't like to 'be pounced.' Surely we can disagree, or state our opinions without overkill. Mark Hughes may have signed off the list in disgust. And who loses? First of all, his father-in-law... Judith Richards [log in to unmask] ------------------------------
