Commercial discussion again

[Michael A. Lee <lee &$at$& nematic.kent.edu>]

 Hello Chemistry enthusiasts.
 I apologize in advance for sending you mail on a suject on which
 you have already heard too much - commercial postings.
 If I recall correctly, Jan Labanowski forwarded the posting from LabVision
 which resulted in the objection by Joe Leonard (jle &$at$& stardent.com).
 Jan Labanowski executed his personal judgement on this matter and
 I think that should be good enough for us. He asked for a discussion
 on the subject of commercial postings earlier and he got it and
 digested it and arrived at his own guidlines.  These were announced.
 Jan is a scientist who has taken part of his energies to create
 this list with the genuine intention of advancing science. SO ...
 CUT SOME SLACK, OK!
 This is one of the best lists that I have encountered and I am sure that
 Joe Leonard will agree with that.  I also expect that Joe
 will agree that when a scientist takes his/her time to do administrative
 (explative) work, we should be supportive. I respect his and similar
 personal perspectives but retain my opinion that we should
 leave Jan with a wide margin of judgement  in such matters.
