BS - 99% pure, too.
Since Red Ryder is very widely used and since the posting wasn't
really advertising copy, IMO it was very appropriate. It passed on
information that a lot of us wanted.
Personally, I think it is moronic that people are complaining about
this thread. Norm's message wasn't propaganda - it stated what White
Knight's new features were and how to get it. Simple. If you want to
complain about this, then complain about Benzanson's Adobe Type
Manager postings too (I wouldn't, but let's be fair about it). While
you are at it, scream at the people who post "X For Sale" messages
too; really that's what the classified newsgroups are for.

Oh yes, let's all hail Paul Robichaux as the great Net God and all bow
and stop discussing something just because he doesn't like it. You
got a 'k' key and 'n' key just like all the rest of it. Use 'em.
