Can't say I've seen much in the way of offensive responses,  but I 
wouldn't say the others are 'trolling' on a site intended for discussion 
amongst  '...people interested in external examining issues".

Personally I go back to my stance from the last time this debate came 
up: split into two lists: one for ads, one for discussion, both with an 
opt-out facility.

Otherwise (as is increasingly happening-thank you all) make sure the 
title line states whether it's an EE post and the subject or that it's a 
comment/discussion point.

BTW: are you supposed to EE at four institutions: don't the JISC 
guidelines (3.2) limit this to two?
