You know, I flamed you over in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and I guess I 
get to do it again.  Sigh.

It did not make me ill, it was just what it seemed to be... an advertisement.
Perhaps instead of acting the fool you might want to suggest a better
advertisement.   Better yet, why don't you just write it up and post
it.  We will see how well you do, we of course will use the same standards
you use to judge advertising.
 
There is a difference in a "advertisement" than a information type flyer.
This was a "advertisement".   I kinda doubt that this ad was directed
at you.  It was directed to the general semi-tech public.
