Just wondering. If Borland were to formally setup technical support on
usenet and start taking questions and answering them, won't that
become USING (or ABUSING) USENET FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE ? Isn't that
something forbidden by the rule ?

Don't get me wrong. I for one above most people wanted to be able to
get tech support this way. I am in Singapore --- and any other way of
getting tech support is just to bloody expensive. .... I just asked
because I am curious how the usenet rule works.
