There has long been a netiquette guide from Apple. Commercial postings
are discouraged, as is not editing included messages, see
http://lists.apple.com/rules.shtml. The Apple archives protect us
against harvesting of addresses for advertising purposes, too. But
there is clearly a higher sensitivity here in Europe than there is in
the States towards the commercial component in postings. In Europe
events are to a greater extent driven at trans-company and
trans-national level, in the States events are driven more at company
level. Similarly, at the personal level people in the States regularly
advertise hardware and software on the List where people here in Europe
seem to think of the web as more of a formal publishing medium. In the
States a company is a macrocosm, a person a microcosm of the same
individualism in the marketplace. The web is a medium that bypasses
both these approaches which is why we get to discuss these things.
Perhaps the web is what we make of it, but it always allows
person-to-person sharing of information, which is it's greatest
practical and ethical benefit. Maybe the difference in this case is
that there has been no contribution in the past. Participating in
threads and sharing information is what makes the web useful to us all,
but not abrupt announcements.
