I tend to think that PHP-specific product announcements are fine, so long as they are courteous enough to prefix the subject with [ANNOUNCE] as is standard on many lists. This allows those who don't want this content an easy way to filter (whether automatically or manually by scanning subjects). I also tend to distinguish between open source and commercial software in this regard. It seems like a misuse of a list such as this to use it for marketing and/or general advertising purposes for a commercial product. I think the best way to market something like that is what Mr. Cummings is doing. Contribute to the list and include a brief description of your product in your signature. The more you contribute, the more people hear about your product. Everyone wins. :-) Chris ===== My Blog http://shiflett.org/ HTTP Developer's Handbook http://httphandbook.org/ RAMP Training Courses http://www.nyphp.org/ramp
