Mr. Wright:

You are correct, as a newcomer you should not be complaining until you have
been a "Klarineter" for a number of months and have a better perspective
concerning what this List is all about.

Quite a number of "Listers" have products and/or services that can be quite
valuable to other "Listers". It is my opinion that their use of Klarinet to
make this information known to all of us is a service that is beneficial to
all.

Of course, there is a "commercial" aspect to this, but, in my opinion, the
benefits to our Klarinet list "market" far exceed any objections that one
might have.

The U.S.A. enjoys a capitalist free enterprise system so, to me, the use of
Klarinet by our numerous talented experts for the benefit of all of us is
entirely appropriate.

If Klarinet does not live up to your expectations or if you do not think
that you will benefit from the exchange of information that occurs here, so
be it. See the information appended at the end of all messages.

Subject: [kl] Commercial use

Probably it's wrong for a newcomer like me to complain -- although
I've attended alt.music.clarinet for a number of months and I am a
card-carrying ICA member. I don't know anything about Internet
governance, but the recent proliferation of 'commercial' activity here
really does bother me.

Perhaps I lack perspective... but using this mailing list to barter
MP3 downloads and radio station call-ins is not what I expected to find
on a clarinet mailing list.

Please accept my apologies if I'm out of order here.
