You've given a short response that the person who asked the original question
can reply to for a further clarification, one much shorter than the seemingly
canned blather that I've seen over and over again.  While I can kill later
messages, I can't anticipate that I'll see a Nisus ad (well, maybe I can) in
response to every query about Word.

Nisus doesn't do everything Word does, and I'd bet "Mr. Nisus" doesn't know
what-all Word can't do.  But he'll happily answer every single person who 
happens to have a question they couldn't find in the "FM" with the "try
Nisus" line.  LOTS OF DUPLICATION THERE, and I guarantee people are going
to continue to have problems with Word.

If nobody answers my question about the program I'm using, that is pretty
good indication that I may need another program, especially something so
commonly used as Word.

Without a crystal ball, I'll have to read at least part of his post, and
I've already seen much of it before.  I suppose I could drop the guy in
my killfile, but he might have something to say of RELEVANCE.
