Re: [RC] Riding music//"TROT" CD - Linda MarinsBetween my post: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Marins" <coldeye22@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The problem with a contributor who doesn't follow a "No Ads" policy is that the other vendors--who are basically in competition with the misbehaving actor--feel that they are being put in a competitive disadvantage that will lose them sales if they don't break the rule and advertise, too. Moreover, people see the ads coming through and think that Ridecamp is an "Ads OK" listserv, and start sending their ads in, too. Classic "tragedy of the commons." And your post: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverley H. Kane, MD" <sensei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ... Having wanted one since I first heard a demo version about 3 mos ago, I just ordered my 2nd copy as a holiday present for my riding instructor. It is an awesome CD! ... I hear what you're saying, Later Poster Who Disparaged The Ads ... And yes, there is a slippery slope of public service/announcement-->shameless OT self-promotion. However, HHAAH is an official AERC sponsor, comes to all the major rides, and has excellent products and customer service. I was thrilled to see their post that the CD I think we've done a pretty good job of defining the two difficult extremes of the poles on this issue. May we all navigate wisely between them.
