I am a little confused about the "no ads" policy on LACTNET as well. (In fact,
now I am wondering if I just violated it by announcing a non-profit e-mail
resource on attachment parenting).  I understand that I can't append an
announcement concerning the book I have coming out to my posts, yet I notice
that other folks have info about their own book or website in their signature
line.  Some of the URLs that are given out as resource info are commercial in
nature.  Anyway, maybe others are unclear and if so, perhaps a clarification
of the policy would be helpful?
