  I noticed that a demo of Raymond Lau's latest commerical effort is showing
up in comp.mac.binaries in ten parts. I've also noticed other people say
that their free software is stuck in the queue for comp.mac.binaries.
As much as I admire Mr. Lau's work, I wonder if it's "right" that a
demo of his commerical product takes up a lot of bandwidth in comp.mac.binaries
when there is a lot of other stuff that could be sent out. "Commerical
use of the net" is overused at times, but such demos seem to fall under
that category. Bandwidth is being used to advertise and sell a commerical
product.

  If I'm off base, please let me know. Politely. I'm curious as to what
other people, including the moderator, think.
