Dear Mr. Stoutman:
I contribute to this forum and always offer a helping hand when I can. I never post politics or religion. If a woodworking school is not woodworking related I do not know what is. This is in no way spam. Are you some self appointed web ploice? Perhaps you should keep to woodworking as well. Mike |

Yeah, its not like that Tom Watson idiot that posts Iraq crap.

If Mike was putting these up once a day, I'd agree it was spam, but a
contributer to the group that lists something that woodworkers would be interested in is no different than someone listing a TS for sale. Are FS posts spam? Jeff |

His "Name" is a commercial in itself : "mike from American Sycamore". I mean come on, we get it. |

At least he's up front with the name. The name tells you that he works
for them. Better than some others that act as an unaffiliated party. Just my opinion. Jeff |

He went way beyond the "call of duty", so be NICE! Dave |

All it takes is lurking for a while to learn that this is a real community, with real people populating it, who really give a damn about woodworking and their/our community.

Not an old timer, but not a newbie (started posting in 2003) I just don't think pure advertisement posts have there place in this forum. Just my opinion and I doubt I'm alone. |

Seriously, while there is a general requirement that people not come here and advertise their sites, we ALL (regulars) expect and tolerate LV, Sycamore, Fly by Night (in the past), and Steve Knight. You'd stir up a hornet's nest if you lobbied to "hush" them up. If I missed any other posters with commercial sites that other regulars consider appropriate, blame it on my poor memory. Dave |

Sorry If I upset you Mike, but your post was nothing short of an advertisement. So what? Mike has been very helpful to the group over the few years I've been here. I even had the pleasure of meeting him at the Springfield show. Very nice folks. Very nice. My wife wants me to take a class just so she can go and hang out while I'm there and join in the hospitality. Many of us are interested in what is going on at the school and hope to attend one day. I'm glad he posted and I did check out the latest information on his web page. Next time there is a show and American Sycamore participates, go meet Mike and Dana. You'll have a different attitude. |

Mike contributes here on a regular basis, as does Ed Bennett, Steve Knight, Rob Lee, etc... An occasional ON TOPIC product or service announcement is hardly spam. I'd rather have folks like them tell us about their stuff & services than read about who lied about who in what war. Jeez... |
