I have also been uncomfortable with the way Allstat is being used in this way. Do we need to have an announcement every time someone updates their regular blog. Clearly the intention is to generate web traffic to the posters' website. Allstat is not a discussion list so why should we receive these personal viewpoints. In my view this is quite different from someone asking a query and perhaps posting a summary of replies back to the list. I get the digest version of Allstat to keep my email inbox less cluttered, but instead I have to wade through all this spam within the digest message. Please moderators, do something about this before we get 10 regular bloggers realising that they can up their web traffic using Allstat.

Dear All Most people recognize that Granville's contributions are a form of advertising. The question I raise is simply should this be allowed on Allstat? My own view is that we do not need these contributions especially given the frequency of postings. I never read his material - which is automatically directed to a junk directory. But this is only one view - so what do others think ? Best Gilbert > Vincent Granville: > > Your "best-kept" secret is actually quite well-known.
