Product endorsements are fine... as in: "Q - Anyone know of good 
pager software.. A - Robot/Alert is ok... blah blah blah".  
Unsolicited endorsements ("Hey everyone, check out Android/Swap... 
it's a great product") are frowned upon.  

Postings that appear to be "Shill" type will be questioned... if they 
are repeated, the person will be removed from the list.

I haven't had to remove many people from the list... I think we're 
all professional enough that I shouldn't have to (largely true).
