As far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with posting non commercial items on a commercial site. I have my own dot come, but as I have nothing to sell, no adds, and only personal *stuff* or local EAA chapter *stuff*, it's a non commercial dot com. However to those commercial sites that host charitable, or non commercial adventures without adds there should be no problem. Although (as always happens when an uproar like this starts rolling along) I've now got a back-log of photos and bios from eager contributors to upload to the Gallery, I will try to keep their announcements to a minimum. It's a real shame that this site -- created solely for users of this forum -- is being painted with the same brush as commercial sites, but I I have difficulty seeing how it could be painted that way by any one who looks at it. Many commercial sites host user sites and although the users are non commercial, the site is under the commercial sites dot com. We have several here. Some put adds on the users sites as part of the TOS even though they are non commercial ventures. *do* see your point. It's a slippery slope from announcing the Rogue's Gallery additions to allowing other sites with more tangential (I.E.: As long as there is a distinction between the commercial part of the site and the gallery there should be no slippery slope. commercial) connections -- and then all we'll have here is a newsgroups full of commercial announcements. I, too, have seen this happen to other newsgroups, and it destroys the group. I see a large distinction between a commercial site hosting a non commercial venture and those of a commercial nature. Please be aware, all, that I created the Rogue's Gallery with the best of intentions. Jay, those of us who understand, need no explanation and those who don't, never will no matter how much explanation you give. Some probably would find fault even if it were a completely non commercial site, just due to the repetition. For the sensitive types, you could just make a weekly announcement although for them monthly would probably be too much. Although I understand the enthusiasm, "were it me" and it's not, I'd just make a weekly announcement of updates. Besides, it's less work:-)). I take care of four sites (all non commercial) and keeping them up-to-date takes quite a few hours. Plus on my own I get to practice new programs and techniques. For me, the programming is more play.
