Commercial Posts and an Apology

I can see both sides of the "commercial post" argument.  Certainly the 
purpose of the BMW digest is to serve as a forum for BMW enthusiasts to 
find help with their BMW-related problems and, in general, to commune with 
each other regarding BMW-related experiences, but not to help vendors make 
a profit.

Some of the vendors who are participating in discussions on other 
lists/digests are offering discounts to digest members.  (10 percent seems 
to be a standard.)  It seems to me that this is a win-win situation that 
benefits digest members as well as the vendors.  I wonder if this changes 
anyone's opinion on this question?  I invite the comments of other digest 
members.

Lastly, I apologize to anyone who was taken aback by the strong language I 
used in a couple of recent posts.  This digest is a model of decorum, and 
that is consistent with all the fine people I have met through BMWCCA.  In 
particular, I would like to recognize and commend Mr. Greisler for his 
restraint and tact in responding to some of my comments.  I will henceforth 
try to emulate Ben's fine example.
