The $20 fee described, with no explanation or justification for the price tag, forces me to assume that it is a commercial advertisement. --- FLAME ON! --- Usenet's purpose is to distribute FREE information. Upon examination, that message has been SEPARATELY posted to SEVERAL newsgroups, forcing my system to store it not once, but many times. Please excuse my anger, but I use this network so that I may get away from advertising. Regardless of the quality of the goods or services advertised, postings such as that do not belong here. This person has used MY money to store and distribute an advertisement. Perhaps I, and those of you who are also angry at such flagrant abuses of the network, should send the advertiser a bill for services rendered. -- Paul Shields
