Hi there,

Someone asked me for guidelines on product promotions, so I wrote some up.
You can feel free to promote any product as long as your promotion fits the
following criteria:

1)  You should state whether or not you have a financial stake in
    the success of the product.

2)  The product should be of use to Vanagon owners for their
    vehicles or for camping.  'pre-paid phone cards' don't cut
    it, for example, since they're not vanagon/bus specific.
    A stainless-steel Vanagon muffler, however, is very appropriate.

3)  You shouldn't promote something more than once.  The only
    exception is to recommend the product to someone as a reply
    to a query by that person.

If I'm missing something obvious, let me know.
