Martin Green is right to recognises this for what it is. This opens up an old debate. Generally overt advertising by 'for profit' organisations on listservs is a no-no and this is only thinly disguised. When I raised similar concerns on a different JISC list, the list owners agreed that it was reasonable for specific training courses, including those run by profit making organisations, to be brought to the attention of subscribers but other forms of commercial exploitation should be discouraged. It's not clear that this particular intervention meets these requirements. Perhaps the list owners might like to look a little more closely. Otherwise there may well be an outbreak of 'me tooism' from a different perspective as others begin to tout their wares through the list.
