Since the Listmom's ad is unobtrusively included automatically as part
of the footer of every message, I disagree. If the entire intent of a
member's message is to sell something, that's one thing, but including
some sort of ad in a member's signature would be different. Lots of gray
areas here, so the safest approach would likely be for members not to
advertise.
