I do not entirely understand the question.
Va-Hist and Va-Roots are open forums for the discussion of topics
related to research and writing about Virginia history and culture,
including family history. That said, we have discouraged commercial
promotion in order to keep the lists free of marketing notices that
would inevitably overwhelm or detract from dicussions of the topis for
which we created and maintain the lists.
Please do not advertize or promote your own or any other person's
merchandize on these sites. If, as often happens in lerned discussions,
people have legitimate occasions to refer to their own scholarship,
that's quite a different matter.
What other people permit or do not permit on their lists and what may be
or may not be permissible in other domains that the state of Virginia's
virginia.gov sites is none of my or our business.

Mr. Brent Tarter,
Possibly you may clarify this argument that Tom brings out. I earlier
had noticed the same thing. Is it true that advertising can be carried
on a taxpayer free VA. Library page dedicated to genealogy and history?
Herb Barger
High horse or not, you are offering a book for sale on a site which you
say carries no marketing. The URL I provided is on the
educationalsynthesis.org website. It promotes the book, it gives the
price of the book, it gives discount instructions, and it gives guidance
on where to purchase. Marketing is the commercial processes involved in
promoting and selling and distributing a product or service. I would say
the page fit nicely into the marketing definition.
I have been unable to find anywhere, that it is written, that an .org
website "CANNOT carry any marketing." Would you provide your source for
this information?
