Relevant commercial advertising IS acceptable in uk.d-i-y. Your
advertisements should have subjects of the form "AD: Advertisement

but relevant advertising is not considered abuse.

Have I missed something here? I thought the protocol was that vendors of
goods and services were welcome to mention them in relevant, on-topic
contributions to existing discussions (e.g. when someone asks about
their Suprima locking out raden will post that CET do replacement
PCBs) but I don't recall any discussion on unsolicited ads.
