I have no problem with small business on the net, as long as they don't
ADVERTISE. It is my understanding that no commercial advertising is
allowed on this net. I have no problem with the idea of 
information being passed on the net. What I do have a problem with is
blatant commercial advertising. If the 'Blitz' poster had said...
"saw the Blitz stuff last week call xxx-xxxx for details" or something
like this, I wouldn't have had any problem. But when the ad is layed out
with bulletted selling points and slogans and such, it becomes not just
a piece of information, but an attempt to sell something.
Granted, this is my opinion and what we're talking about is drawing the line
between information and enticing to buy. 
In my opinion the 'Blitz' posting was a commercial advertisment and I have no
tolerance for commercial ads on the Net. 
I did not ask for an ad concerning the networking services on the net, but 
rather recommendations based on other users experiences. I asked for this
to AVOID having to read advertisments.
I think it's fine for people to point other people towards new products and
information about these products. The question is- what is the posting 
intended to do, inform people or try to sell them something ?
