Well, excuuuuuuuse me.  I guess I won't bother to upload informational
messages I find on other systems any more, because someone might think I'm
making commercial use of the net when I have nothing (or as little as
possible, in the case of RR) to do with the company or the product.

I posted one of the three copies that generated so much uproar.  I thought I
was doing the readers of c.s.m a service.  But since I was clearly
commercializing on the net, I guess I should ask Freesoft for a paycheck.

Lighten up, for crying out loud!
