The message of concern was in it's own words a "formal release announcement"
and this is clear from the contents.  This document had ordering information
and everything and I feel was inappropriate for the net.  This shouldn't be
compared to the general discussions going on about ATM.  The closest thing
was the single ATM announcement made which was much shorter and spent more
time talking about features.  I felt the ATM announcement was more appropriate
since ATM was so new and different that it warrented discussion.  Please 
don't try to tell me that Red Ryder (White Knight) version XX.XXX is
some new earth shattering new software technology that every just MUST
here about.  Also, I don't think it matters if the person who posted it
was an official Red Ryder or not and it doesn't matter that Red Ryder
is a (small, tiny, poor, special) company with few resources.
