 Well, the original poster might have considered finding a better 
newsgroup to post to initially, however alt.internet.access.wanted and 
alt.internet.services are certainly far more appropriate places to which 
to make postings for net-providers.

 I recall a time not all that long ago when there were endless threads of 
providers bashing each other, and berating each others services.

 Oh wait, that was yesterday.

 One can easily expect at least 2 or 3 responses all from local providers 
by posting to alt.internet.access.wanted. A provider posting to 
chi.general merely encourages his competition to so do. With probable 
nastiness a consequence.

 So, how's about we all sit on these groups? I do not think I like that idea.
The chi.* groups are some of the few that I can make time to read.

 As for press releases, I believe the Tribune has an office for that.
