[DM-MUG] Fwd: "Take Control of Buying a Digital Camera" 2.0 andHoliday Sale

[Bill Davis]

Jerry - Then by your own definition, Victoria's message was NOT  
spam.   I'm guessing you are new to the DM-MUG list.  Victoria often  
helpfully forwards items of interest (products, articles, web site  
links) to the DM-MUG list,  especially if they relate to something  
that's being discussed on the list. We've been discussing how to buy  
a digital camera on the list in the last couple of days, so her post  
was most appropriate and timely, and NOT spam.

That being said, Victoria, you might want to prefix such forwarded  
messages in the future with a brief note indicating why it's being  
forwarded.  I for one understood why you did so, as I'm sure most  
folks on the list did.   Or perhaps change the message header to  
match the discussion to which it was related.  I don't think you have  
ANYTHING to apologize for, though; thanks for posting that info about  
the e-book.

  - Bill
