For sure. The convention followed by other LUGs I've been involved with
is for the person wanting to make a commercial post to seek the blessing
of the club executive or an authorised officer before doing so.
One easy way to do this is to have a moderated list which is subscribed to
the main list. Commercial posts are sent to the moderated list. The club
needs to be prepared to review moderated posts in a timely manner.
