Weblog Etiquette

If you comment in my blog and stick advertising in it, your comment will be deleted.

I don’t mind if you plug your company if it’s on-topic. For example, if

I were to comment on restaurants in Toronto, it would be perfectly

acceptable for post a comment and say “Hey, check out my restaurant!”

However, it is not acceptable for you to comment to the same article

and link to a site for financing a housing purchase. That’s spam, and

it will be terminated with extreme prejudice.
