   I know this is a joke posting, but keep in mind that USNET
   is not the real world.  In the real world, I have a BA Journalism
   and was editor-in-chief for a small newspaper.

I think the last line of Mr. Townsend's .sig is pretty ironic.  He's
complaining about commercial postings to mailing lists while at the
same time running a mailing list devoted to a single product.

As far as I'm concerned, junk mail in your electronic mail box is
pretty much like junk mail in your real mail box -- annoying as hell,
likely to make me avoid the vendor, but not something I'd make
illegal.
