Agree. There's probably some unwritten etiquette there.

Partially agree. If just the facts are given, and not a complete sales talk
instead, it'll be fine. Don't overdo it like this though.

I think the occassional "Hey, we made something cool you might be
interested in!" notice, even if commercial, is ok
because it addresses numerous issues we struggle with on this list.

Now, if it were something completely off-base or unrelated (e.g. male
enhancement pills), then yeah, I agree.

Hi Darren,

I think it's rare because it's rare: if this were found to be a useful
advertising space, rare would cease to be descriptive of it.  But I could
be wrong.

And to be honest, many people on this list are professionals who not
only build their own solutions, but also buy tools and tech.

I don't see what the big deal is if some clever company has something of
imminent value here to share it. Considering that its a rare event.

Steven,

If you are going to admonish people for advertising, it should be
equally dished out or not at all.

Hi Peter,

Commercial solicitations are taboo here, except in the context of a

request for help that is directly relevant to a product or service.
Please don’t do this again.
