Hi, Dave ...
And *Welcome*.  The only significant thing I know of that's prohibited is 
the posting of what really functions -- obviously or implicitly -- as an 
ad.  Various attempts of pyramid operations, chain-letter gimmicks, or 
multi-level marketing schemes (including recruiting) get landed on pretty 
hard, too.  They're verboten.  As well as illegal in some cases.
OTOH, the idea of "Has anyone tried [so-and-so lead-generating effort, say]?
Or, "Does www marketing really work -- for anything?"  Or "I've got a shot 
at an Xxyyzz printer for only $----; has anybody got any experience with 
this sort of system?"  Or, "I'm trying a new piece of sales literature; it's 
like [so and so]; seem like a good idea?  How should I try to avoid [such 
and such problem]?"  -- ALL that sort of thing seems to be very welcome.
Wish you luck in your own operation -- and look forward to seeing posts  
from you here.                                                     --ed
