  ===> anything that Apollo contributes that adds to what I know about 
	what's on the way is a big help to me.  I've got no problem with
	reading "advertising" and the resulting discussion of Apollo 
	press releases - it's a whole lot better than buying something now
	when I can wait a bit and get what I really want.  Speaking for 
	myself, I think most people can interpret what is advertising and
	what is not (in their view) and handle it accordingly. I also welcome
	the input of the folks in Chelmsford on the net - it's also helpful
	to hear what they can provide to the at-large Apollo user community.  

	(the above is NOT any criticism of the above writer so no flames, OK?
          I just thought another voice was needed.)
