Ralph-
Thanks for asking, but I am afraid that any overt advertising will be screened and probably deleted from the board. Two reasons- first we are protective of our users and they have repeatedly objected to participants using the forum to promote goods or services. We (and they) are after pure information that will help them in their work. While your company may help them as well, try to stick to pure info and ideas while not pumping any particular product or service.
Sometimes the discussion is of a nature that would make this impossible. In our imperfect way, we try to be fair as to what stays and what gets deleted. In the end our judgment rules.
The second reason we cannot allow marketing through the discussion forums has to do with the viability of the site as a whole. We do accept sponsors and advertisers and so far they are paying the bills. To allow unpaid advertising through the site's features would be self-defeating.
Feel free to e-mail me directly with any questions.
