   I think you're barking (pun intended) up the wrong tree - this is
Fidonet, not Usenet. When posting in an area that gets echoed to both
systems, you should consider both set of rules, and obey the lowest common
denominator.
   Anyway, Stu Turk has not said that there is a ban on advertising, as
long as it is of benefit to all participants, and not to the person posting
the message. This will avoid crass commercialism.

Steve!
