Yes.  As much as possible.

Here you go fellas/fellettes:

If there is a thread going on about a problem, and someone on the list 
can sell them something to fix it, send it directly to the person who 
posted the problem.  If the person wants your stuff, that person will let 
you know.  If he doesn't reply to your post, he doesn't want it!

I have been on this list for a while, and when someone has something that 
many other people want, the mail will start flowing in.  If there are 20 
people posting to the list about "Where can I get one of them..." it is a 
sign that your services are welcome.  Just don't "pimp" it on the list.  
Respond to those "customers" directly, and maintain your business 
relationship that way.  

Anybody wanna vote?
