So, if you do have access to the net, but not to good.wine, because of
*economical* reasons (as was pointed out by Ron Heiby), you are
respecting the wishes of your site and/or intervening sites by strictly
shutting up about wine? It's as logical to me as a cow is to a PDP-11, on
a bicycle, though. With bananas, but peeled. Purple striped.

Or do you think your site really wants you to shut up about wine,
because they don't have enough money??
You're confusing the *reason* of a policy with a policy.

on THAT! Flame on anything else... ]
