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: >IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS: > >http://www.netannounce.org/news.announce.newusers/archive/usenet/advertising/how-to/part1 >A board of experienced Usenet users stands ready to help suggest >non-destructive ways to use Usenet for your commercial purposes.
