2. Spamming is apparently in the eye of the beholder.

The TOS say, "It's fine for established members to plug or post links to their own products, services, or publications every now and again."

I've been here since 2005 and have a few posts under my belt so I guess I qualify as 'established'. I guess 'their own products etc' may be a grey area but I am dedicated to the art and craft of photography. I am also dedicated to advancing this craft in any way I can. I try to passively teach and lift those aspiring to improve and at the same time I admire and emulate those who inspire me.

On those rare occasions I find tools that may appeal to my fellow photographers or save them money in their growth I want to make them aware. I do not benefit in any way for sales or promotion of these products.

If that's a violation of TOS I suppose I'll just have to live with it. If I have offended anyone here in the Photo Group I apologize. That said I don't plan to stop promoting, sharing and learning this most wonderful and expressive craft.
