Summary: I assume that The Source and their Mac-Den is doing badly


given that this Cheeser-fellow, did not heed the first few voices questioning
his misplaced advertising and repeated his posting, and given that he seems
to be employed by The Source, I have no alternative but to come to a pretty
low opinion of both him and The Source;  I would not be surprised if he'd
actually benefit from new sign-ups and the volume of traffic in his group
there, and/or that he's doing so badly that he is desperate enough to post
to USENET - not a likely forum for recruiting people to join a pay-as-you-go
online service.

If anyone should even mention The Source around me, I'll certainly volunteer
that I'd prefer joining Delphi anyday ... with the contribution Jeff Shulman
has made to USENET with his Delphi-digests and submissions of programs,
they don't need to make "special offers".  Thanks, Jeff!

PS:  The article in the most recent MACazine doesn't even mention The Source ...
