The sort of "accepted" standard netiquette is to put a short note on the
list regarding product plugs and/or job openings (which would include
contractors), and a URL if applicable - or at least a phone number.

I just had an email exchange with one vendor who put a plug up for three
days in a row.  I think that will stop - and I do believe it was a case of
not knowing our netiquette.  They know it now and asked for assistance,
which was given.

As for this type of thing - again, one post - short, sweet, to the point,
and a reference (URL, phone number, address, etc.).

We saw this post once - and if people aren't interested, they can delete the
message.  If the post shows up again, they too, will be informed of our
netiquette.
