I'm fine with a business posting about a new product. I like to know
what is out or coming out for LW so I not only don't mind those types of
posts, but I like them. Now if a company posted a message about the same
product every week, that would be a different story. There's no rule
that says you have to read all the way through a message before going to
the next. If you get through the first sentence and find out it's an ad
for something that you don't wnat, delete it and move on to the next
message... sheesh.
