Hi there.
This list is a forum, not a bulletin board. We talk about things that 
relate to ARSC, specifically, and our place(s) within it and the things 
that interest us. Most of us do not self promote our products and/or 
services. It's just bad form. If everyone did it the forum would 
degenerate into chaos. Besides, most of us already know what the 
specialties of the other list members are. Go to one of the ARSC 
conventions, buy a table and do your promoting there, not here.
This is just one ARSC member's opinion.
