I agree wholeheartedly with Bill. Advertising is not obtrusive on this list, and I value the opportunity to learn of anything that I might not hear about from any other source, whether it be a new book, an open day, a talk at a local historical/archaeological society or even (once a year) a new calendar. Advertising execs would probably not even recognise it as such. Publicising would perhaps be more accurate term.

Nearly all involve books or other materials appropriate to the list. I appreciate knowing of such opportunities. I also do not find the "friendly commentaries" and replies on such posts to be too much although some might. People on the list know one another and that comes through. This is a community of people with common interests and I like it that way, As my students say--just saying, This is an active, but not overly active list.
