I agree with David when it comes to handling advertising on listservs.
Another list to which I belong (Foreign Language Teaching Forum) handles
it the way David has been suggesting:  in general, advertising on the
list is frowned upon, but if there is something out there that might be
of general interest to the whole group, a list member puts out a SHORT
message clearly indicating in the note that a bit of commercializing is
about to occur.  Then if others are interested, they contact the
individual who posted that message.  A bit of an extra step or two for
the individual who just wanted to share info, but it helps to keep the
integrity of the list going.  Just my 2 cents....
