It is included... here is a copy of the relevant part of the welcome message:

"Readers of the TechDiver list have agreed not to send messages of a blatant
commercial nature to the list.  Please do not post adverts for products or
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
please don't advertize.  If you wish to advertize, consider making use of
the Aquanaut MarketPlace on the Aquanaut WWW/Gopher server.  URL is above."

I think that Chris should take the postings about advertisement positively.
Many people were accumulating anger because of his frequent long messages.
Now that the situation is solved, I think that this anger is gone.  After
all, he built and sells a great software.

I agree that a short signature specifying only who he is and which company
he represent would be adequate.  BTW, I think that everybody having a
commercial interest should do the same.  This way, if we need more info.,
there is a way to know who we should contact.  Wim Remley does it nicely, I
think.

>Enough BW wasted, let's get back to diving....

GOOD IDEA!
