Hopefully this time around Glenn will take more vigorous action -
like breaking your fingers or something.  I don't know if you read
these groups (apparently not), but Netnews is _not_ there for
companies to make profit from.  Self-serving advertisements certainly
qualify as commercial for-profit usage.  While on one group we have
a discussion about whether we should post prices or not, on another
we've got Jack Reynolds saving RightBrain a couple thousand by
posting 4 page advertisements to the network rather than buying
space in NeXTWorld.  There is a _very_ large gray area covering
the space between entirely non-commercial posts and fully-commercial
posts.  You are not even _close_ to that gray area.

If we wanted to know about PasteUp, we would ask.  If you want to
tell us about it, you could mention in the next PasteUp press
release that this document is available by sending email to
reynolds@rightbrain.com.  It really isn't that hard.  I've seen
nothing like what you post from any of your competitors, so it's
obviously not impossible.

[To those of you who may think I'm coming down a little hard, an
excuse ... I've had a couple posts over the last few weeks which
I thought skirted dangerously close to being for-profit.  I went
over them with a fine-toothed comb reworking them to be as generally
applicable as possible, and left them on my system for a couple
days so that I could make absolutely certain that they looked
acceptable in the life of a new morning.  With this one post Jack
has probably posted an equivalent amount of hype to what everyone
else posted this month.  And, not only does he post it, he _brags_
about how he snuck behind his boss' back to do it.  Grrr ...]
