Apologies
Hi Rebecca,
Just so you know advertising is not allowed here (the official charter
can be seen here: http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.rec.walking.html). It is
generally frowned upon even if some do find it acceptable.
I, and others here, have pointed people to your site in the past. If you
post a blatant advert again I will never do so again - indeed if it
continues I will recommend people avoid your site (as I would any other
organisation doing the same).
If instead of advertising you join in discussions with helpful
information (not just plugs for your products / site) your contributions
will be appreciated, your site will get more traffic and perhaps sales
too. Other retailers / service providers have done that successfully in
the past both here and in other groups.
If you decide to take that approach we will have a win/win situation
where the group benefits from your experience / advice and your company
benefits from a positively raised profile.
I sincerely hope you do adopt that approach and contribute positively to
the group.
