If someone asks you for the info, send it to them directly.
(Catch 22, how can you ask if you don't know?)
You can create an email list for evolution announcements (using a
free server such as onelist or yahoo) so that folks that want to hear
about the new schools can hear about them.
(Some lists have so few posts it's difficult to tell if they're working, this
could lead to missing a scheduled event.)
Start a web page (this is fairly easy no matter what you tech level
if you buy the right software package), you are an AOL user, I
believe you can host it there for free. Advertise your web site in
your signature when you post topic related responses, this is how I
advertise my wife's book.
(I guess you're implying that the Evolution school is not topic related, so
Jean has to write something you consider topic related on Team.Net so the
Evolution website appears in the signature. How would you advise the wording
in that signature so people would know to look for an upcoming event?)
No one is questioning how effective the school is. 52% or trophies is
good. This has NO bearing on weather or not the post is spam. What
if Kumho or Hoosier posted build numbers of their tires weekly and
talked about how many trophies they won?
(If Kumho or Hoosier was having a tire test clinic for autoxers I'd want them
to post it and wouldn't mind if they listed their accomplishments.)
The delete key is NOT the answer to spam, not sending it is. What
would Team.Net be like if GRM and Pylon got into a "buy my product"
war? They both have a presence on Team.Net, both, IMHO, are
acceptable.
(Again, if GRM or Pylon was advertising a school or test day for autoxing I'd
want to know about it.)
I agree with Loren, sorry. (And this is nothing against your school,
I plan to take one as soon as a Miata shows up in my driveway.) You
have a very specific product and a very specific customer base, MORE
specific than Team.Net, you are targeting the autocrossers who want
to take a school, NOT the group of autocrossers. Team.Net does NOT
want your posts, but many, many autocrossers do want it. Think of
all the spam the Rocky and Byron have put out for the autocrossing
products they sell, not much, huh? Both of them only respond to
specific, public, requests for the product. And I don't see such
requests for your product.

(AGAIN, if Rocky or Byron were having a test clinic for their product, I'd
want to know. The Evolution school is first and foremost an education, that
it happens to be a product appears to be the spam conflict. The request
wouldn't be for the product, it would be for the date of the product, if you
want someone from Team.Net to ask for Evoulution Dates, that can be arranged,
just say how often.)
