|Sorry to repost, but some one attempted to cancel this post so I had 
|to re-post it. To all USENET News managers: Make sure that comp.newprod 
|is marked as "unmoderated" (ie that it has the letter "y" after its 
|entry in your /usr/lib/news/active file rather than a letter "m").

I've posted a cancel message, and have fired off email to the posting address
with a Cc: to the comp.newprod moderator.  This post is to remind all news
administrators that comp.newprod is indeed a moderated group, and to ask all
computer users and buyers to avoid doing business with DDMI due to their
high degree of Usenet rudeness.
