Aren't advertisements against the rules? There's a big difference between
Vinod, Steve, and Scott suggesting that we purchase Zooma from DGM because
they are not marketing agents for DGM. But you are a marketing agent for
Merit Adventures and Proximity, aren't you? You have business dealings with
them and you indirectly profit from these advertisements. If I'm wrong say
so, but otherwise, you should stop advertising on the mailing list.

Scott makes a great point! Compare the DGM total of $16 with the pricing
from Merit Adventures:

Your total with shipping would then be $14.99 + shipping=
For Next Day Service: $30.94
For 2 Day Service: $25.44
For Standard Service: $19.94

Also, as Vinod pointed out, if you order from DGM you will receive it on or
about September 14th anyway. Furthermore, as Steve pointed out, ordering
directly from DGM is:

My choice is DGM:
