"blatant pricing information spread[ing] across the net"!  Sounds like prices  
are some disease.  They are INFORMATION!  Get it?  

Do you think CSN* is some sort of 'cold fusion' discussion group?  No, it's a  
GREAT BIG COMMERCIAL!  It is for the support of commercial products of NeXT.   
Most folks plan to *gasp* make money either using these machines, helping  
other's use them, or in just plain honing thier marketable skills.

This anti-price-only mentality plain baffles me.  I could understand (but not  
support) an anti-commercial postings mindset, but not this cock-eyed mess  
where, say, a Jack Reynold's style post (and I like your posts, Jack, don't  
take offence here) magically becomes NOT a commerical if the $599.95 is changed  
to $xxx.xx.  What powerful magic!  Now, suddenly, I see the posting as purely  
informational, where before I say only a blatent, offensive, commercial.

Bullshit.

There, now I feel better.  Offended folks please respond by e-mail
