Mon Sep 18 02:47:23 UTC 2017

Assuming the below is not really appropriate for this list as some suggested, is there another area on nfb.net where this can be discussed?

Occasionally I have seen other people on this list publicizing services that they offer and nobody seemed to have anything against it. David wasn’t asking for your money or for your help! He was letting you know that he is starting a new station, letting you know that if you want you can apply to be a DJ and also letting you know that in the future he would be broadcasting things that have to do with Nabs. Why so much anger?? If you don’t like it just don’t read it! I think the subject of the email was clear enough for you to delete it if you were not interested. If from now on we are going to be this strict then lots of content on this list is going to have to go away.

Therefore, I do not believe this message is appropriate for this email list. I believe the only time it would be appropriate for you to advertise your radio station on this email list would be when you are advertising specific NABS related events. Otherwise, your continued mass announcements about your radio station are simply not appropriate for this email list.
