re MEDLAB-L and business.
The usual policy is to avoid posting ads for specific commercial
products on lists.
But many fields--including history where I am and obviously
medical labs--have the situation where commercial products are an
integral part of the activity of the group. The history
profession could not function without commercial books to read,
review and study. Likewise the Medical Lab world and commercial
products. Therefore I think its policy restricts the usefulness
of the list to its own members.
