To all--

As List manager for the confocal listserv, I know that all of us greatly
value the contributions of our members who work in the private
sector.However, in the past we occasionally have had commercial postings
that have bordered on spam or that threaten to provoke partisan
squabbles.To avoid this problem, I ask all commercial posters to abide
by the following policy:

1)You're welcome to post queries on the list.

2)You're welcome to respond to queries or comments posted by other list
members.In the course of doing so, you're welcome to mention your
organization's products, as long as it's relevant and brief.If you
mention your company's products, please state in the subject line that
it's a commercial response, to keep things transparent.

3)You're welcome to post links to announcements of web-seminars, etc, as
long as they'd be of interest to most members of the list.Again, please
mention in the subject line that it's a commercial posting if you do this.

4)Please do NOT post product announcements, marketing surveys,
etc.However, you're welcome to send a one-sentence description including
a link to your web site.Again, please mention in the subject line that
it's a commercial posting.

If anyone has any questions about this policy or suggestions for its
improvement, let me know.--This policy is revised and re-posted
periodically as necessary--my apologies to all of you who already know
most of it by heart, and my appreciation to all in the private sector
who have been abiding by it faithfully.

Thanks!

Martin Wessendorf
