Dear all:

Perhaps I was mistaken. Perhaps I misread something.  However, I was under the impression that we 
were not allowed to advertise on Lactnet.  That means to promote a product that will generate an 
income for a a for profit institution or sell a product for ourselves.  

I have never seen a formula advertisement on Lactnet.  I have never seen a pump company 
representative on Lactnet.  I have never seen a Pump Company representative on Lactnet.  I have 
never seen a bottle company representative on Lactnet.  I have seen people apologize when they talk 
about a product and they clearly state that they have no financial interest in the product.  I have seen 
people use initials when talking about a product.  I have seen one person who sells breastfeeding 
products provide a critique of why she cannot endorse a particular product on Lactnet - and that's 
about it.

I guess the rules have changed or they were not what I thought they were.  If it is true that for profit 
institutions are allowed to give self-endorsements of their own services or products on Lacnet, this 
listserve is not what I though it was.

Best regards, Susan Burger
