        I agree that we should allow commercial to "advertise" on this list,
after all we are supporters and proponents of the unique and excellent
camera system.  Why should we go to them when we are the ready market. 
Let them come to us.  I have bookmarked many of the Olympus vendors and
view them weekly.  Sometimes there is a lens that I am interested in
acquiring and when I e-mail the response is that it is usually sold :-(
        Therefore if we allow, collectively, their participation in this list
then maybe we will get first chance at the "bargains"....perhaps if they
wish to advertise to the list we see it first before they go public on
the web or in print....perhaps we get the right of first refusal
for...say a week.  I would support that.
