The posted ad/notice appears to be for a site that says it's free and to help
artists, etc. While this is not specific to the jewelry topic, it's also not
apparently a commercial ad, at least not in any major way that I've noticed. The
problem is that while r.c.j. is not intended for advertising, I do generally
allow notices/ads for educational opportunities, or "public service" when
appropriate, and anything sent by Ganokson.com. Ganoksin is by far the most
active discussion forum regarding jewelry related topics on the net, and an
undisputed beneficial influence, thus deserving of the free access to post
notices here. But if I allow them, at what point do I decide that another
poster who says they're also attempting a free/non-commercial aid to artists
(which can include jewelery artists, of course), should not be allowed. A
quick search for posts from this poster on Google groups suggests that she has
been rather actively promoting this as well as other more commercially oriented
notices on other groups. Should this matter at all? My inclination says no, so
long as rules for this group are followed by posters to this group, regardless
of what they do elsewhere on the net. Do you all agree with this?

Perhaps I need to remind Ilia to be conservative on ad frequency, since the
charter does limit all advertisers to only one ad per month (has this been an
observed problem? I'm not aware of an excess frequency, but admit I've not been
checking dates...). Or perhaps I need to insist that the "[ADVERT]" tag
requirement be followed. Opinions?

I'd enjoy hearing feedback from readers of the group on this regard. Do you
object to these notices (or others, like from Ganoksin too...), or do you feel
they are indeed a service to the group and jewelry community that warrants their
being allowed?
