I'm curious:  Usually, postings that can be interpretted as advertising
generate flames.  Lots of postings have appeared in comp.os.minix that
are pure advertising; where to get it, how much it costs, phone numbers
and so forth.  No one has objected to any of this, and I'd like to know
why not.  Personally, I think advertising should be allowed, but I've
been scorched myself over this issue.  I'd like to see Andy make a
million bucks, and I don't want any of these postings to be outlawed.
But... what difference have I missed?
