  I agree with both of you. It was totally commercial, but would be
perfectly in order in newproducts. I will give the poster the benefit of
the doubt and call it an honest mistake this time, reserving all flames,
hate mail, electronic letter bombs, etc, until I see evidence of malace
rather than slight incompetence.

  I would hope the poster would note that the wrong group was selected,
but the posting would be fine in the right group (um, my opinion, of
course).
