Hi, Daniel. I'm glad (and appreciate) that you asked. Any posting of messages in multiple locations for the purpose of promoting something (commercial or otherwise) feels like spam, is not a good use of the network, and usually creates the wrong impression anyway. Even though the limited edition of your service is free, allowing this can shift the experience of users of CR 2.0 from feeling like they are talking to each other to being recipients of ads. Thanks for understanding.

Without wanting to be held to anything firm (smile), I'd say yes. A couple of people have done that with tools that were "free" for now but ultimately had a revenue hook, and it seemed too commercial at the time. It can be a hard line to draw. I think your post on Pedagogle was appropriate, but if your interactions here were more about getting people to use your tool than to contribute to the discussions here, I think you'll find folks will tune out. Anyway, looks like you're doing good work…

Yes, I quite agree. See my comment on "her" (?) page. But although I might not agree with the business model, I'm not sure I want to start evaluating the relative "value" of a business as a condition of whether or not they can be here. Certainly, an illegal business would be easy, but I don't think this service is illegal--although I'm sure the users are breaking honor codes when using.<br />

Aren't these people selling essays to help you cheat in your courses? That seems like not just a commercial solicitation, but quite dishonest as well. That makes me mighty uneasy.
