Dear Marilyn,
	Why do you persist in posting commercial advertising to a
technical newsgroup?  You have been asked by other users of the
network to restrict such articles to the misc.jobs newsgroup which is
appropriate for such requests.  I don't object to you using misc.jobs
but I do object to you abusing comp.ai.
	Even if it were ok to use USENET for commercial purposes, you
do not have a reason to post out of misc.jobs.  Being a regular reader
of misc.jobs I can tell you that you are not swamped out in that
newsgroup.  Every person on my machine who reads USENET articles
subscribes to misc.jobs and I think it reasonable to assume that it is
the same at other sites.
	I will complain to the MIT people in charge of your USENET
connection. Maybe I will get results this way.
