Hi all,

This question has been bugging me for some time.  If you have some software
that you wrote and wished to make money on, is it kosher to post the binary
in the appropriate group and ask for a small fee (say $5-$10)?  Or is the
more expensive method of conventional mail order preferred?  Or perhaps the
announcement should consist of a product announcement plus an e-mail address
and price?

Your answers will be appreciated.

Also, if the first option is the done thing, does anyone have any stats on
average returns by the given product authors?
