I agree with this. I very much enjoy learning about new vendors and find  
this one of the attractions of a newslist such as this one...

with Roland.

I can't understand your position at all?   WHO	pays the majority of the 
expenses for meetings?	Vendors! Without them  your cost to attend ISAC would 
probably triple or quadruple!!	 Who  allows you to have very cheap or FREE local 
users' group meetings?	Vendors!  Who solves issues with vendor services??  
VENDORS!   Why on earth would you exclude vendors from the discussion???   

And actually SOME people welcome messages from vendors... Vendors can  solve 
a lot of your problems!  The Boston Area high speed sorter list,  for example, 
welcomes vendors responses and they get results.  The  vendors HEAR their 
requests and respond!  I've learned a LOT from	vendors!  Without messages from 
Vendors, how do you find out about new	products and services?	How often would 
you go to the ISAC website to  look for a new product you don't even know 
exists?  Or how do you know  there is some training opportunity happening in your 
area?  OR how do  Vendors know what you need and how do you get your service 
/ technical  questions heard by all vendors?  

Shutting them out isn't the  answer to your mail problems!  Roland's answer 
was eloquent!  And,  although we've discussed this often, nothing has ever 
evolved that is a better  suggestion!  If you don't like messages from vendors, 
just filter them  out, and having [Company:]  in the subject time is a perfect 
way to do  that!   

I'm sorry, I just don't get it!!   Why	would you shoot yourself in the foot? 
 Vendors - you can put my email  address on your mailing list!!  Just put 
[Company:] in the subject  line!  I'll filter them and decide what I want to read 
or not read  later!  Just like I filter this list!

I would suggest  extending this to include use of e-mail addresses from the 
mailing list for  commercial solicitation.  Can we agree this is unacceptable  ?

Please refrain from use of this list for commercial purposes.  The ISAC
website has a place where you can post news releases about such  events or
information. Thanks-
