I earlier posted that I have no problem with a forum duplicating the
WP-Pro mailing list. That is, a forum where, following a few rules,
those seeking to pay for hire can request it. That, however, is not
how I read Podz original profile of a Services forum. It seems it
would be in place for both those looking for professional help, and
those offering it, are commingled.

And there's nothing wrong with wanting to *isolate* such threads from
the actual support going on in the forums. I have no problem on that
point. My concern, and I think that of a few others, is just how much
of an endorsement can we get away with without it ending up polluting
the forums as a whole? Is there a threshold we can actually define for
it?

We all might be!
