Good Morning Y'all, I defense of Mr. Hillman, I agree with his sentiment in this case. TechNet has always been a technical forum, which expressly prohibited sales and marketing notices. We get flooded with enough of that in the snail mail. The only time it has been acceptable has been in response to questions such as "Does anyone make an XYZ machine?" I have been privileged to meet Bob Willis recently in England. A wonderful fellow and very giving of his technical expertise, especially in this forum. I usually find his input to be insightful and useful. I will say, however, that Bob does frequently push the line when it comes to advertising on TechNet. In my opinion, which Mr. Hillman obviously shares, is that Bob stepped over the line in this instance. A more appropriate response would have said "I will be presenting a workshop at Nepcon, please e-mail me directly for more information". I took Mr. Hillmans tone to be a firm reminder, not rude.
