Hi!  Several people have sent me mail asking for more information about
one thing or another that has been announced in mod.newprod.  This was
probably done via the "reply" function of their news reading software.
A reminder, though, that I am just the moderator.  I don't represent the
products being announced in any way.  So, please send your requests for
more information to the contact listed in the BODY of the message.  My
.signature is appended to all the articles simply because I can't figure
out how to make inews ignore it.  While I'm talking here, here's the
mod.newprod guidelines.  Guideline "E" is new, modifying "D".  Thanks.

	A) Announcements should ideally fit within about 15 screen lines.
	B) There must be a name and address (electronic and postal) for
	   receiving more information.  (A phone number is suggested.)
	C) Announcements that look like advertising hype to the moderator
	   will be edited and returned to the submitter for approval.
	D) Announcements should happen no more than once.
	E) Certain "events" happen more than once, like UniForum, seminars,
	   and training courses.  Announcements of this nature may repeat
	   if there is real value to the community in doing so.

Announcements can go over the 15 line suggested limit if they appear to
be of general interest and contain sufficient meat to be worth people's
time to look at it.  I am open to further suggestions on modifications
to the guidelines.

Conflict-of-Interest Policy:  My position on AT&T products is that I will
not generate an announcement for any products and that AT&T products must
meet the same guidelines as other products.

Submissions should be sent to newprod@cbosgd.UUCP and comments/questions
to newprod-request@cbosgd.UUCP.  Thanks.
