I'm glad to see you want to make new proposals how to deal with this thing.
And to be determined, wanting to see if there still could be some ways how 
you could use newsgroups for sending your commercial material free. That 
determination is Ok with me.

Yet, I'm afraid that the few people who are participating this discussion,
_we are not able to give you what you want_. It is not under our authority 
to give you or your company any of those special rights or freedoms about 
this.

I'm not sure if you know how the Usenet works. It is quite a big task if
you even want to create a new Usenet newsgroup, several open votings for
everyone, agreements etc. 

If you want to change the whole netiquette rules about advertizing, I'm 
afraid it will be a _much_ bigger task to perform. Yet you can try it. 
Here's one link to start with, send mail to these guys, and tell them 
what kind of changes you want to these rules:

You said something about one man police forces,

mhh, maybe I'm one of those, at least with this cross posting, newsgroups 
advertizing, (=spamming), etc.

Even though your company would be on a niche market, as millions of other
small companies round the world, it still is no obligation for others 
to pay their, or your advertizing bills.
