Just my opinion and with no attempt to pound on you sara, I think the key word here is "self" promoting. If somebody had a website selling let's say herbs and took every opportunity to link to that site in the hopes of gaining customers, s/he would be in clear violation of the policy. If however that person linked to a quote by Dr. Shelton or Isabel Moser in the soil and health library (a great site which will happily accept donations) or in this case "fasting connection" which also accepts donations, then there is no self promoting going on whatsoever. To disallow posters from linking to either of these fine sites would only diminish the quality of this forum.
