Great point. Help me on this hypothetical....
Let say we have four businesses that are sponsoring the website. They are able to post catalogs, specials and price sheets in the sponsors section.
How should we treat a post that contains a non-sponsoring business' catalog or price sheet?
Should a non-sponsoring business have a catalog in the main discussion area, while business that paid for a sponsorship be limited to a special area in the forum?

Part 3 -Accepted custom and practice.
The O/P pointed out that he had asked Sue, but made no mention of Jeff. for others - There is a distinct difference between a recommendation "I think Sue Miller is great" (I Do!) and publishing her company's entire commercial information.
