Oh, dandy.  They can follow the usual net practice of debating to pieces
software problems with the usual impractical and useless discussion that
accompanies it but they can't provide a real, feasable, and useful solution
because it is too 'commercial'.  Spare me the holier than thou
pronouncements.  I would bet there are more than a few hackers on this
group that would like to release shareware but realize it is a losing
proposition.  I know that I find limited commercial postings of far
more interest than much of what passes through this group and doubt
that I am the only one.

Lighten up.  The key phrase here is moderation.  Why is an occasional
short and succinct posting from a corporation any better or worse than
a net member with no association giving the same info.
