Hi again CIPS-L:
Apology at the end of my message.
May I suggest that as the Internet person in the National Office, I could
be responsible for contacting "illegal" posters to inform them of their
faux pas. This would allow everyone else on our list to use their delete
key knowing that I will be on "list patrol"!
Obviously, since we have an open list right now with open posting ability,
the original poster may never see the numerous disapproving replies that
often are sent to the list following an annoying advertising post.
Steve's suggestion that we could post an appropriate use document
might have some effect but again if the poster is not a list subscriber
we'd be educating the wrong people.
The best solution would probably be to change our posting setting to
"private" but as Mike MacDonald has informed me, this can create additional
problems when people with numerous email addresses attempt to
post to the list.
Anyhow, on to the apology.
Michele
CIPS National Office

Attention: Michele Sura
I was not aware of fact that advertising was not allowed in this forum. As you
may be able to tell, I am very new on the internet and this was a genuine
mistake.
I am not a CIPS member as yet but have obtained application forms and would like
to enroll.
Once again, please accept my apologies and I will not post any ads on this
forum. I would like to apologize to all the CIPS members and will ensure this
does not happen again.
Michele, if you could advise me on an appropriate method of soliciting for IT
resources, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks...
Sincerely
Ashif Mawji
