Advertisements have no place on this mailing list.  People who are posting them
should be politely warned and, if they persist, removed from the list.

The Telepsych postings were at least fairly relevant, since they showed a
new trend, of sorts, that showed a way in which computers might change
or adapt psychoanalytic experiences for some people.  The latest ad, however,
was entirely inappropriate, since we all know of BBSs/Online discussion
groups like that, and at this point about the only thing trend-setting about
the services listed in the second ad was the PRICE!!

The people who are posting ads should be reminded that they could very easily
be turned into the net authorities for commercial use of the net, and that
their schools or businesses could be notified with, er, unpleasant results.

So keep the ads in the media where they are appropriate.
