There are at least two ways of looking at posting demos of commercial software
to the net :-

    1) That such a posting is an easy and cheap way for a commercial developer
       to advertise the product, targeting a very large number of Mac users.
       If I'm not mistaken, this could be interpreted as a breach of net rules.
    2) The posting helps the Mac users amongst the net to see new products
       first hand. The program may very well be exactly what people are after,
       and so the posting has assisted users of the net in getting their work
	      done.

    My opinion is that 2) is a better way of looking at such a posting. 
    *HOWEVER*, if the posting of such a large demo program (like Design
    and Jazz) is in direct competition with Public Domain software, then
    I would oppose such.

    I see a *LOT* of interesting program descriptions in the digests posted
    to mod.mac, but a lot never get to mod.mac.{binaries,sources}. The question
    for Roger Long is whether he is moderating these programs out in favour
    of the huge demos.

    Finally, I'd like to publicly praise Roger for the good work he is doing
    as moderator. Thanks Roger!
