A new guy joins YD and one of the first things he does is start to promote some software he has written.
My concerns get raised on two counts.
1) YD does not know the new poster from Adam and may actually be distributing virus ridden software. I feel a responsibility to protect the established membership from such an occurence.
2) YD has 10,000 members and is a very attractive market for people who have commercial interests. Unfortunately YD costs the owners money to run it and they offset this by receiving some advertising revenue from people who want to promote their business to the YD membership.
It was important to me to understand where the OP stood on both issues.
I am sure the more established members understood where I was coming from.

Yes
And one of the, many, wonderful things about YD is that we are protected from any pushy advertising, SPAM and bogus posts. I am most grateful for that
