Personally, this weekly posting smacks of commercialism.  If Michael
would have posted this without the plug for his COMPANY, I would
have never been prompted to make this statement.  But every week, we
get some good information (thanks, Michael) with an advertisement
from his company.  I don't feel that this is proper use of this
newsgroup (there is probably not an appropriate newsgroup for
advertisement; comp.newprod is strictly for announcements of new
products).

Am I alone in this feeling, or do others out there share my
sentiments.  I would prefer to see this posting GRATIS, i.e. less
the advertisement at top and bottom.  This would be more in the
proper spirit of NEWS.
