I have noticed that practitioners are beginning to use the "consumer" discussion columns to advertise.
While they may have some helpful information, I hope hairtell doesn't become too flooded with their advertisements as I've seen happen on other discussion boards.
I agree, JGirl. While I very much encourage practitioners and manufacturers to answer questions and talk about the pros and cons of their methods, we've gotten a bit of an influx of promotion-heavy posts. I've been busy on another project, but I'll try to stay on top of this.
