[Tig] Demo Invitation & Advertising

I would strongly advise that any attendees of the demo do
NOT give out their e-mail address.  I get what I consider
SPAM from spectrasoft once a month announcing a demo, have no
interest in the product, but cannot seem to get off
the distribution list despite several requests.

Would I vote in favor of banning from the TIG if it happens again.  Yes!
