There are rules, you're not wrong. My original email to suppliers said:
"However, if you join, I would ask that your contributions are about VLEs
generally, rather than promoting your specific product. This is a fine
line, clearly, but saying "My product X is better than his product Y
because...." is not OK. However, saying "We are doing an informational tour
next month about X, for more details go to our web site" is OK. If in
doubt, check with me first."
As I said then, it's a fine line. To the credit of the numerous suppliers
on the list, it has rarely been crossed.
