Nope, they're directed at all 300+ members of this mailing list. Since I
don't recall seeing 300+ requests for information, it could be argued
that your posts have more advertisement value than informative value.
In other words, you seem to be using the one or two requests for info
which you have received through this list as justification for filling
everyone's mailbox with "info" they may or may not want.

If your intent is to provide information, then Tim's suggestion shown
above is a good one: post a pointer once a week or so to a web page
which contains all the info you want! Or follow up to those who do
show an interest via email. You may not appreciate "people calling
these Ads", but I for one don't appreciate your use of the list for what
appears to be your own (financial) gain.

OK, so you're not interested in "retaining such contacts". Some of us
aren't interested in your cables, either, and therefore have no interest
in retaining your contact. It works both ways...
