I agree.  Many decision makers must devote a substantial amount of time and
effort evaluating the various products.  Technical, low-hype-content articles
by the database vendors would justify the expense of of the rest of net at
my site.  Is this appropriate usage of USENET?  If not, perhaps ATTMAIL or
UUNET could serve as an alternative.  

I'm sure the database vendors recognize the marketing potential here...
right, guys?  :-)
