You work for them. So don't pretend you are some objective client.

This is not what this forum is intended for. And 99% of your audience
is not even in Ireland, incredible as that may seem.

Rather than waste alt.food.wine space expressing displeasure about
'Shilling' for one's own commercial site, I sent a direct e-mail
explaining that such postings were out of place and could easily be
viewed as unethical.

Daragh MacLoughlin was 'kind enough' to respond and explain that:

1) "i never tried to hide any affiliation"
2) "Ever hear of a language barrier Dan? English isnt my first
language so i cannot always convey what i need to"
3) "well to be honest i didnt actually check to see the general flow
of conversation or check the rules and in fact i think that was the
first ever post ive made to alt groups"

So, thanks Daragh! Since I'm not in Ireland, I don't have to decide
whether to do business with this company. (It would have been an easy
decision, anyway). But I do often add links to merchants in other
countries on my web site to help direct residents toward worthwhile
merchants. I don't think I'll be putting up any positive links for
this guy.

From http://www.virtual-ink.com.au/afw-faq/guide.htm

"3.4 Can I advertise my wine website?

As mentioned in the Advertising on Usenet FAQ, on-topic business
(including website) announcements are allowed. You may announce any
wine-related website on the group. Non-wine-related website
announcements are off-topic, and thus should not be posted to the
group. Wine-related announcements should be limited to the launching
of a website or a major addition to/subtraction from/redesign of the
site, and they should ideally be informational, rather than
promotional, in nature. A handy rule of thumb is that if you are
posting an announcement more than once a month, you're probably
posting too often, and you're likely to get on someone's nerves, even
if your site is the best thing since the invention of bottled wine."

That rule sounds very well-worded to me. So what is the problem with
the post? The "ideally be informational" bit is the only possible
problem one could have.
