Is this a commercial advertisement?  I've seen this quite a few times in
the last several months.

In the first paragraph, he says "available for a limited time."  How 
limited?

In the last paragraph, he says he wants to know ahead of time so he "can
process your order more quickly."

I bring this up because of the recent discussion about the mini-e-mail-order
service Mark Choi (it was you, wasn't it?!) was going to set up.


I'll take my net.police badge off now.
