I hate to give this company advertising...even by mentioning them in the
subject line!

Some who have received advertising are in the ILCA Website, others are not,
so it does not seem to be the only source of names to address their
commercials.

I hope those of you who received this advertising just consider it part of
the cost of doing electronic communication - and delete it together with
other "spam".

We get so many hits in our (www.ilca.org)  Find a Lactation Consultant (and
I use it OFTEN as I try to respond to questions from mothers all over the
US -and the world - in fact, I'm trying to locate one in Vienna, Austria
right now!) that I hope this will not deter you from listing yourselves
there.

Other than letting them win...and not listing ourselves anywhere, we need to
be vigilant and share these situations.

It reminds me of when I was the listed Leader in various cities -
periodically we'd have to do a "round robin" phone call to each other when a
caller (usually male) would make calls asking VERY SPECIFIC questions
related to breastfeeding.  Again, not pleasant, but we learned to hang up if
the questions were unnecessarily graphic.  Eventually he would quit.  This
did not deter us from being Listed Leaders and publishing our phone numbers
(albeit without our last names).
