OK, I'm new to the list, so here is what I got with my subscription:

>>services, even if they are related to Technical Diving.  By all means
>>initiate a discussion on the technial merits of the product or service, but

Personally, I have never found advertisements to be a problem on any of the
various scuba forums: rec.scuba, scuba-l, or techdiver (judging from the
archives).  Indeed, I think more bandwidth is wasted discussing the odd
advert and what our reaction to it should be.  The present thread is an
instructive example.  Unless the situation changes remarkably for the worse,
I say lighten up a bit.
