While I totally disagree with the use of the Internet for commercial
advertising, I cannot understand why some people on the net seem to
have had such an over-reaction as to send <muchos-flames> back to
the originator of the email.(abacus et al.) This itself is an
abuse of networks, especially when sending back the full man pages,
ie: several megabytes. What a childish behaviour ! Someone somewhere is
paying for that ! 
I have also received the stuff from abacus@Gwinnett.com . But throughout
the years I have often received such email from a number of sources; I
just type d and read the next message. Cheapest way.
