Yes Kenneth, I use to just delete them without a reply. Now I reply with a short shame on you and explain how the private message system should be used :-) this help I believe it seem to slow the spam down :-) Hope You had a Great week . Lee

I agree Ken. We have an opportunity to CHOOSE where a Forum invitation is concerned but not in messaging. Once again the issue of 'community etiquette' comes forth. Perhaps a Forum outlining community Etiquette would be good? Another issue of etiquette came up yesterday, that of Foruming another persons stated intent for their upcoming forums. Original ideas once down on paper and published in the community have a certain copywrite right! Of course perhaps these individuals depend upon others for all of their 'original' ideas. LOL Eiquette in a community with so many members from all walks of life, and cultures can raise some difficult issues. Just my 'two cents worth' as usual. :) Official AdlandPro Expert, Synergism CEO, Beverly Armstrong NC, Certified Mycrous Therapist, (Homeopathies) Certified Reiki Master, Certified Magnetic Therapist & Networking Business Consultant, & Writer http://networkingblogs.blogspot.com (Now with sound) http://www.beverly-armstrong.official.ws msbeverly@adlandpro.com

Hi Kenneth, I think this forum will be great for new comers. I had the same problem being here in my first days. I didn't realy know why I'm here and how to use this program! As soon as I'm here becouse I was looking for advertising places. May be others are feeling the same. This is anither reason why this "ask an expert" movement is great. I think that for advertising there are ~My ads~ tab, and in some cases the forums! This way, if somebody wants to see what I have to offer, knows where to look for. Thank you for this forum. Have a great weekend, Anamaria

A great big LOUD...thank you Kenneth! I, for one, appreciate your feelings on this. If we have spam at Adland and still want to participate in the community...but can not know before opening what is wanted and what is not...I for one will soon be weary. How will we have time to get our work done? Margaret

Hello Kenneth, thanks for the invitation.Well put and they are just like we were when we first started here.We all live and learn as they say and if you don't tell us these things we will never know.I don't do it. Thanks for sharing Kenneth regards Jeffrey OBrien
