Hi Betsy,
Your area of interest (safe toys for children) is very interesting and important, but I want to let you know that MB prohibits any kind of self-promotion...so I recommend you edit your post right away to remove the link to your business, and then (in your profile) place the link there in your contact information.

One reason MusicBanter prohibits product promotion is that, as I understand it, MB is able to exist and have a paid administrator because MB sells advertising space. If people can advertise for free on here, then no one will want to *pay* to advertise, so no money will come in to MB to offset site expenses, and so...POOF!...there would be no MB for any of us to enjoy!

Really? So my random acts of MB vigilantism may not be needed? I just read today that MusicBanter brings in $31 per day (!!!!) in advertising revenues, and so letting the violation of the "no free advertising" rule may reduce the net income to, oh, perhaps $30.96 (!!!). That's 4 cents additional money that could go to the Secret Administrator (shhhh)!!

Of course...maybe the lack of interest in cleaning up this thread is because (Choke! Sniff!) you think no one will (Sob) read it! Even though the inchworm song and the like are HOT STUFF in the world of children's music. HOT STUFF, I tell you!

(Oh! I just noticed an ad above this post, the first ad I've ever actually read on MB...and it was an ad for blue "Rocketdog" Boots..."Cool shoes," says the ad. Hmm. That doesn't seem very musical. But I do feel a curious, compelling urge to go check out Rocketdog Boots.)
