Yes, you only have to look at a sig to see who the commercial gp-ukers are,
you can then apply your mental filter and judge the message contents
accordingly.

Yes, a privilege to be here, but we can be of use to the gp's too -
postings from software suppliers have clearly been useful to the gp's. The
gp's also have a good direct route to their chosen system suppliers - try
getting in touch with Ewan any other way...
If enough gp's in gp-uk are worried about this they could always petition
to make it gp's only, but the group would be poorer for it.
But then I'm biassed.
