So, what you're REALLY trying to say is that you censor network messages.

Ask yourself this:  Would the IN MODERATION NETWORK censor this type of message?
Probally.  Wanna know why?  Because it's an advertisement by a for-profit
organization, cross-posted to the wrong newsgroups (try biz.*) offering a service
for a fee.  And the best part is that they've faked us all out and made it look
like an Associated Press news flash!
