Then you should talk to the various folks who took me to task
for pointing out this formerly-accepted guideline when I
I pointed it out to a novice netter accessing the net via
a BBS in New Jersey. I did it because I knew she was a
poor business person from direct experience.

I was told that "Usenet is not the Internet, stop it".

I guess this means it is OK to prepare my advertising copy 
for immediate release on the net.
