Advertising
By Jim Heyworth
Regarding the question of advertising in the MMD, it would sadden me to see it banned entirely since good leads may be missed.
Nevertheless I am totally opposed to blatant (and repeated) commercialism or long lists of things for sale. That sort of thing belongs in MBSI, AMICA and similar publications where the societies involved can use the proceeds from sale of the listings to support their activities.
For example, if someone has an interesting musical item that he/she found on a newsgroup or wishes to off-load from a private collection, I have no problem with it being mentioned on MMD once only.
My 2-cents' worth.
