For what it's worth...

I concur with Jeff's comments on inappropriateness of private or any
other ads on the ARPANet.  (I'm sure DoD is vastly reassured and encouraged
by that.)

But I would hate to lose the ties/links with those other nets that work
with us on the ARPANet who DO permit these adds.  Regrettably, some people's
distribution schemas will shoot ads across to us .. a good application for
AI maybe?  To filter them out?  Any messages with "FOR SALE", "CHEAP",
"SUCH A DEAL"?
