If Borland were to formally setup technical support on usenet and start taking questions and answering them, won't that become USING (or ABUSING) USENET FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE ? Isn't that something forbidden by the rule ? Don't get me wrong. I for one above most people wanted to be able to get tech support this way. I am in Singapore --- and any other way of getting tech support is just to bloody expensive. .... I just asked because I am curious how the usenet rule works.
