I personally don't care if Nisus is the best thing since sliced bread.  I don't
expect posts with the subject "Word help needed" to be replied to with a Nisus
pitch.  It is DAMNED annoying.  

Try going into any forum and answering posts like "how do I do Z with my brand
X item" with "buy a brand Y item" and see how many friends you make.  You may 
think you are helping with you Nisus pitch (I'm sure it does everything for you
that you want), but try looking at it from the other side.  You are asking the
person to dump the $ they paid, probably 100s of hours of learning, reworking
the documents they've already got set up, AND reinvest a similar amount of time
learning Nisus (possibly more).

Do you STILL think you're being helpful?
