Greetings, I am echoing the sentiment of others who appreciate hearing about potentially useful sources of information but do not want qual-software to be overused by software developers promoting their products and services. So, I think I like the idea of asking developers to limit this type of activity to sharing URLs with the list. List members can then go to the developer's site if they wish to access newsletters or other on-line information, and the qual-software list itself can remain an exchange of ideas in response to specific questions and member needs.
