While this is not my mailing  (It mentions ClariNet because you can
get a ClariNet feed from Anterior, among other places, and he mentions that in
his brochure) I fail to see what the fuss is about.

If somebody were to post a hype-advertising message to USENET or
a subsection of it, I am sure the author of <2049@avsd.UUCP> would
flame with the burners on high.

So if somebody has the courtesy to spend a lot of their own money
to contact local USENET sites by postal mail, why are the flames
just as much?

If somebody has a product or service that would be of enough value to
USENET admins that they would pay for it, how do you suggest that the
message be communicated.  Mind reading?
