-- FLAME ON --

Is anyone else as sick and tired as I am of seeing this BLATANT ADVERTISING
for Nisus any time someone asks a question about MS Word??

For that matter, doesn't this kind of advertising violate netiquette?

Jon, all these people are asking "How can I use this program I already have to
do what I want" -- not "How can I spend another bundle of money on software
I may not need".

I may be wrong -- perhaps these folks really do appreciate knowing Nisus can
solve their problems -- but your pushiness annoys the heck out of me.  And
maybe it doesn't violate netiquette, but if it doesn't, it should.

Pardon me while I go edit my kill file.
