Hey Tom,
It is your list,  and I guess he bent a rule, (and maybe I don't know 
the whole story) but I don't see this as spam.  He didn't bring up 
the JavaPro - he just responded to someone asking about them.  Seems 
kind of harsh to toss him off for telling people he was here and 
could answer questions.  I did a quick review and he has been on the 
list for a little under a year and contributed here and there with 
never a mention of being a roaster supplier.

I personally don't have a problem with a zero tolerance policy on  
commercial postings. If people who are competitors to Tom want to be  
on this list and contribute knowledge and experience I'm sure that's  
ok. But they should be on their best behavior, especially when their  
own products are being discussed. I'm sure anyone considering  
purchasing a product knows that they can contact the manufacturer, but  
that's not why we come here.

I am a only few month old member...so my opinion may have little value. However I am inclined to agree with john. If it is true that the person has been on the list for close to a year...i have never heard the name javapro brought up until now...even though there is daily discussion of grinders...therefore clearly the guy has not utilized the forum for his financial gain or to promote his product. Also there are frequently products discussed that are not offerred by SM.
