SHAREWARE is as has been said before COMMERCIAL. Have we forgotten who
and what we are? This ????net exists for the FREE flow of information
between like-minded individuals. This is not an arena for you to make 
a dollar (yen, pound, franc, etc.) Make you announcements in comp.*,
comp.newprod, etc. if anyone's interested they will call you, or not
as they see fit.

Thank you K-MART shoppers for participating in tonight's blue light 
special.
