This Ross guy sure wants to have it both ways at once.  If he's not
holding out hope that someday Usenet will become a willing delivery
system for his wares then why has he been the most prolific poster
to this discussion?

Says who?  Why?

The law says it belongs to me already.  But you'll notice that Ross
stays way away from that argument.

Ross sure spews lots of words at us for someone that's "not trying to
sell anything to anyone".



(Sorry, I know most people have gone into ignore mode with this guy,
his attitude just really bothers me.)
