I don't stop the junk mail from coming to my house because I get something
of interest or value to me every once in a while that I didn't solicit. I
feel the same way about this list. I can delete what I don't want to read.

I don't think he should be removed. We all can delete/ignore his posts if
we
like. He may be breaking some minor rules by advertising, but me, well, I'm
a firm believer in RoboHelp, and nothing he could say would make me drop it
and get his product.

My views are my own, of course, and are not necessarily those of my
