That looks awefully suspicious to me.  The $20 fee described, with no
explanation or justification for the price tag, forces me to assume
that it is a commercial advertisement.

--- FLAME ON! ---

Usenet's purpose is to distribute FREE information.

Upon examination, that message has been SEPARATELY posted to SEVERAL
newsgroups, forcing my system to store it not once, but many times.

Please excuse my anger, but I use this network so that I may get away
from advertising.  Regardless of the quality of the goods or services
advertised, postings such as that do not belong here.

This person has used MY money to store and distribute an
advertisement.  Perhaps I, and those of you who are also angry at such
flagrant abuses of the network, should send the advertiser a
bill for services rendered.
