Sorry, Norm, but this won't wash.

Blaming the excess posts on the news software is just plain wrong.  The
news sw didn't post the excess message copy...some human- in this case,
you- did it. 

The original posting was questionable. The net isn't the place for
postings for commercial products. Maybe something along the lines of
"White Knight (formerly RR) is coming out Oct. xx; email me for more
details" would have been OK. The way you did it, though, is not really
kosher.

So..let's move the CTB discussion to comp.sys.mac.programmer, the
White Knight propaganda to email, and this whole discussion to inactive
status.
