But Timothy -- this is more than whether Tufani can sell on the
ListServe.  His responses are venomous and he should be booted, in my
opinion.

All museum related topics are acceptable for posting and discussion at

I guess then it becomes an issue of what constitutes a "museum-related
topic;" specifically, is a private individual advertising the sale of
his artwork considered to be "museum related?"

Although the Museum-L FAQ doesn't explicitly prohibit commercial
postings, many other discussion boards do (such as the previously
referenced History News Network; see
http://hnn.us/articles/982.html#civil).  Common netiquette (a concept
that should be familiar to anyone who's "worked cyberspace" for any
length of time) dictates that a discussion group user should be familiar
with the tone of the group he/she posts to, and post appropriately. 
Judging from reactions, it seems clear that the majority of this
community does not condone advertising on this list.
