Sorry, but I disagree. I think this type of "advertising" is perfectly
appropriate for this list. I would rather it be a list of sources than
the rink for circular arguments it often is. I think it's perfectly
legitimate to introduce yourself by explaining what you do. I also enjoy
seeing the occasional open position listed here -- isn't that advertising?
Anyway, this list has nothing to do with TV as far as I can tell.
