Greetings: I'll note that he has formed his own Yahoo group and did say that he'd only make a few more of these posts until his group was up and running a few...
I think we have to draw the line between someone promoting a site, versus people simply referencing sites. Sometimes, I will provide a reference to eqplatforms...
