I certainly agree. As a newbe that had to set-up a development site with
hp3000, I used the list as a great resource for products while many of the
mails I browse through where vendors-originated.

I think information about new products, whether from vendors or not,
are certainly more germane to the list than any of the jokes that get
passed around ... even if I haven't already seen the joke a couple of
dozen times.

Certainly we would have to forbid ALL off-topic material before we
decided to ban on-topic but commercially-motivated material.
