I don't have any opinion on whether this is a good thing or not, other than
noting that in my 15 years online I haven't seen it work consistently or
effectively for any stretch of time on any list/community I followed. (I
don't mind seeing an [ADV] for the <shameless plug> type of posts, for
instance.) The funny thing is that I almost skipped this post as being a
'COMMercial' message (which would have been a pity as I ended up liking its
content). For others, COMM may connote COMMunications, etc.
