Hi Finn,
                    Any reason for allowing a commercial link in an 
article that is not at all related to that link or related only to push 
a commercial product?

 I see that we would want to allow links to commercial sites that were 
related to the posting (say a posting on the war on Iraq, with a link to 
a Jerusalem Post article - the Post is definitely commercial, including 
on its website). But the only reason for this link was to push people 
who read the posting into signing up into buying `products' off the 
linked site, even though the linked site wasn't specifically mentioned 
during the posting, just added at the end.


Cheers,
            Brian.
