I know this may be a sensitive subject and one can argue it both ways, but I think this recent posting is going a little overboard. I agree that the seminars advertised here are useful to the SI community, but I object against the "Register now" link towards the bottom which is clearly a self serving advertisement which is a NO-NO on this forum. Aside from cleaning out the abundant junk (spacer.gif, etc...) the poster should have kept it to a minimum information with perhaps just one link and no more...
