Darren,

Several points here.

1).  Product announcements and pricing are appropriate on the net, provided the
announcement is not posted several times.  In other words "don't make a
campaign of it".  Read the file "manner" that came with your usenet
distribution.

2).  Mark was posting information he saw listed somewhere.  He was
not benefiting from it, so it was not an advertisement.  It was simply
information.  As one of the people who is "salivating" over the SCSI
adapter I was very interested in seeing this and hope others will post more
information.

3).  We don't need any "net police" here.
