Since I don't have access right now to prior messages in this thread 
(for a real but uninteresting reason), this could be redundant. But 
to the extent your announcements about whatever are appropriate, they 
are appropriate for the CLUE-*Talk* list, not CLUE-Tech.

As for whether it's appropriate even there, well ... CLUE-Talk is 
supposed to be an open forum for topics of interest to CLUE members. 
And there are periodic disputes over whether certain kinds of 
discussions should or should not be allowed, but in my experience 
those disputes have always been related to political topics (more 
specifically, right-wing members getting upset at left-wing rants 
like some of mine ;-). The final word has always been that CLUE-Talk 
is a free-speech zone. But you're talking about commercial, rather 
than political speech. Should it be treated the same?

P.S. If there is any further discussion on this meta-topic, let's 
move it to CLUE-Talk too.
