Mentioning we exist, offering our book to >readers, etc. I actually put this question to quite a few people around here... and the answer was ... "what creeps" to "sounds pathetic to me" ... Just an informal survey mind you. We thought of similar announcements but vetoed the idea on the "commercial use clause." Additionally, complaints regarding any postings that originate from here are handled personally by me and I would consider it grounds for termination in an extreme case. As publishers, we are in the information business but also need to hold ourselves to high levels of ethics, propriety and public image. Controlled circulation or not (we are as well). I'd simply stick to comp.newprod... if people really want to find you, they will find a way. - david Publisher -- =================================================================== David K.
