(Well, there really isn't much else to talk about.. Atari made a really
dismal showing at CES, and the STe is delayed again...)

Can you expand on that a little...?
 
I'm not defending ST-Report, but I have a little trouble understanding how
it's "obviously commercial"...?
 
ST-Report usually contains an ad from ABCO, the company that the editor
runs... does that make the entire magazine "obviously commercial"..?
 
Z-Mag quite often runs ads for their "Z-Net" publication which is *also*
a commercial venture...   is that any better than ST-Report..?
 
Does private E-Mail come under the scrutiny of sites on UseNet in the same
way as public postings..?  The ST-Reports in question were being mailed,
not posted...
