I think most people agree (or a least don't mind too much) if a commercial 
product is offered as a possible solution to an OP's query, assuming it is in 
fact, within context.

I'll leave it to others on the list to decide if John Signorello's post was 
appropriate or not, given the context of the OP's original query, but if someone 
posts a query directly related to a product I have to offer, I fully intend to 
let them know about it in as least intrusive manner as I can.

Assuming a person's product is directly within context, not offering it as 
possible solution could be a disservice to the OP and list in general.

Just a thought...
