Hi Linda, Thank you for the invitation to your forum and for bring this topic to the open. I have had quite a number of these PM and especially from people whom are not even on my friendship list - My thoughts are, these people have a lot of cheek and I have blocked them. Quite a few of the new members whom I have welcomed will send me their promotions - I can understand that they have not comprehended how this Networking community works yet so am far more lienent toward them. I have noticed more Ads coming to my email addy since Adland Pro went into upgrade statis. I very rarely read and take action to these Ad e-mails but will try and make it the forums - I like to read what others have said about the topic because there are some extremely good advice, resources etc within these forums that benefit me. Kind regards Amanda Martin-Shaver

Hello, It's a fine line I agree. When you have something that excites you and you want to share it that's natural. Most of us belong to this community because we want to share friendships with others who want to make money online. There are all sorts of communities out there and this is the best at what it does. I have not yet seen nasty content yet and I love the support. The only time I blatantly advertise is once a month through my Adlander letter to my friends, otherwise I just put it into my postings, IF APPROPRIATE. I think that you are so right but there are so many people come here after trying so hard for so long that we have to understand what it's like to have friends who might listen. I took no pleasure in the other way, when, I had to tell a friend that he was promoting something illegal. That's the other side of help. Have a better than brilliant day everyone.

Hi, Thanks for the invite Linda and to a very interesting question. I DO NOT read ads in private messages at all... I DELETE !!! Before, I received in my mailbox only what I subscribed to! Now, with Adland paid members to direct members email has caused my mailbox to be overflowed with unwanted emails that has ads, services, etc which I would never subscribe to and are not interested in !!! I'm not pleased at all with the paid members being allowed to do so and it becomes very frustrating! Adland has a great service which is FORUMS and members should create a forum to promote their products, services, instead of sending unwanted emails that I never subscribed to in the first place !!! Warm Regards

Hi Linda, HERE you go: Shake Rattle and Roll them once again. YOU are touching a gray area in network marketing. I looked at the prior posts to this one and it looks as though the score is: Girls: All vote Delete > Give me a Break!!! Boys: Some don't like your advice, some skim but do read them, others get advice from them but don't like them...DOH Me I read them all, skim through them if I don't have the time, answer some, get good info from viewing their sites and don't get mad when they PM me with ads. It's too bad people seem to almost always agree with the person who makes the post. Some posters have no life but to go out and post one message after another. Some good others bad. So what can we all learn from these almost so called spammers of PMs??? DO we BELIEVE or DO we know if these Adland rules are being broken. And if they are shouldn't we IMMEDIATELY tell Bogdan and Fink on all these inconsiderate people that take our precious time and make us delete, skim through, And learn from their posts, etc. This is all Illegal or is it?????!!!@@###$$$^%&*()) I say LEAVE them at Peach, and Peach will be in YOU!!! ------------------------------------------ NOW READ THIS::::::::::::::::::::::::::::>>> Place a FREE AD on me: http://FreeAdTraffic.com Get TONS of Traffic with this FREEBIE: http://www.20millionhits.com/servlet/index20?member=1ezbiz

One reply I've used lately is to ask if the writer is expecting a reply or is his message just information. In one case the writer volunteered to remove me from his list. That is admirable I think. It is tempting to be rude but merely deleting doesn't seem to do it. When I email somone for the first time, who in my opinion can use my information, I don't make it an ad; a brief introduction and a conclusion that invites a reply or inquiry at his or her convenience makes sense to me and have received replies that either express further communication or stating no desire in any further interaction. Hope this helps to survive in the web jungle.
