Because this list is set up for the convenience of the community, occasional announcements from businesses in town are okay—for example, a new business in town, information about a business service offered in conjunction with a public event taking place in town, or a one-time listing about babysitting. No business, small or large, should use the discussion list for frequent repetitive promotion. Posting commercial announcements more often than monthly may annoy your neighbors and bring a warning from the list administrators.
