This sort of posting should ONLY be posted to comp.newprod
because there are restrictions on the use of the Internet
and other networks for "commercial purposes" and commercial
product announcements are clearly commercial.  While Borland
is clearly not at fault in this case, I think that it is
worth posting once as a reminder to well intentioned others
that we need to avoid such postings outside of comp.newprod

The actual effect of such postings is to place at risk the future
access of many readers of USENET to USENET newsgroups and it
just isn't worth it.  Please try to avoid the purely commercial
postings outside comp.newprod.  A general posting that just says
"Such and such product has been announced, go read the posting
in comp.newprod for details" is probably safe, but posting
the commercial note to any other group can hurt other net.users.

It has been the case already that some sites have been forced to
disconnect because of such commercial postings and other sites
are at high risk because of regional network policy or company
policy on "commercial use".  Some of the NSF regionals are included
in the "commercial use" restricted group.

Please try to be considerate of others.
