Hi Linda I've seen a few forums about the same thing in past months in adlandpro.It has gotten better but i expect newer members are realy testing adland to promote there stuff.A few of these forum topics will inlighten them on proper forum edquite so to speak. My Turn To Rant : Here's one i hate i make a forum i have over 700 on friend list get probly 5 or 6 post and no one joins.A few days later someone else post almost exacly what i posted and 5 or more pages of ppl saying they just joined them. My email is full of adlandpro invites i check most of them just to get on the the good ones i think i would like to be involved in.The person promoting means nothing to me the project is the ticket for me.Sure i can be influenced by a successfull person telling me how great the project is because there all great hehe.but do i have the same resorces in advertizing as super marketers have?Does my success have much to do with others success?Super Marketers success can cost them 1000 of dollars it wasn't the product per say it's the marketing plan.So these people through there fastest thanks for the invite in a forum and move on asap forgeting the community thing and forum edquite.Plus you know what's right around the corner everyone is out to profit before then lol. Cheers Dennis

Hello Linda. I think there is a certain level of ediquette required in forums. The signature part I agree with and also respecting the right for following the topic of conversation not using it as a venue to advertise your own product. I beleive what we do in forums is under the context of relationship marketing and if we do not handle ourselves professionally and respectfully the owner of the forum has the choice to delete. I hope my participation is appreciated. Thank you Lisa lomas

Hi Lisa, Your participatin is definitely appreciated! It is absolutely all about relationship marketing. It does not take long to figure out who you really want to pay attention to... and I think many simply don't know the etiquette of a forum. So, it is my desire to help them understand - for the betterment of all! I appreciate YOU!

Linda, Thank you so much for your straight forward and candid comments relating to forum protocol. I agree with the limitations on advertising :0 Have a blessed and successful day! Happy Holidays! Your friend, Classic Corners http://www.classicwebstore.com

Hey Nancy, Great to see you! I'm working on catching up with YOU in the candle business!
