Me too (confused). We have at least 2 people in here that run a business
and even though they do not put up obnoxious adds, they do have a link to
their site where they sell fish and plant related "stuff" and they have had
posts where it is clear that they do trade in the business.

I'm curious what was so out of line that it got someone slapped down for
it....

I accept your apology, Ghislain.

One of the basic concepts of dealing with newsgroups is to read posts on
a
particular newsgroup to get an idea of the "flavor" of a newsgroup.

Since you are new to newsgroups, you might want to check out this page
on
"netiquette" (newsgroup & email etiquette):
http://www.imagescape.com/helpweb/news/newsnet.html.

Also, many newsgroups have websites for FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions).
Here's the FAQ for rec.ponds:
