A while back I posted an address for Borland at compuserve
(76703.764@compuserve.com).  The address is for Larry Kraft, and he
suggested that he thought it would be a nifty idea for people to send
copies of their borland product related problems to him and then
summarise the answers they got to the net.  His idea is, of course,
that such posts would be a form of word-of-mouth advertising.  I'm not
quite sure if that would violate the non-commercial charter of the
net, but it sounds reasonable to me;  not really different then
summarising any other information to the net.  Anyway, it would be
nice to know if those types of posts would be kosher or useful.
