<anthcath@camtech.net.au> demonstrated genuine ignorance of computer
headers when publishing the following fiction, which I only just read:

>Traxan Technology wrote in message <01bd9f75$9b2316c0$a8f237cb@default>...
>>Zoltrix TV-MAX TV Tuner/Capture Card is an incredibly affordable and
>>versatile solution for watching TV on your desktop and for capturing video
>>(movie or still image) to your computer. A PCI bus mastering capture card
>>with integrated 125-channel TV tuner designed for your PC, Zoltrix TV-MAX
>>is available to anyone operating a Pentium 100 (or faster) with an open PCI
>>slot.

>Just letting everyone know, a friend of mine bought one of these from Traxan
>and he loves it - well worth the money.  I am going to buy one in the next
>couple of weeks

Um, the fact that your header information and that of "Traxan
Technology" seem to correspond exactly, right down to message ID codes
is merely coincidence eh? Or are you telling us that "Traxan
Technologies" sold some of its wonderful technology to one of its
friends - if so, why the deception?

Geez, if you are going to post false recommendations, you could at least
email them from separate accounts! If your company was truely reputable
and honest, you would not need to descend to such falsehoods.
