Actually, he said "If you want to post (to advertise),
fine but please email me a copy."

And why isnt this the proper place for an advertisement?
You work for Suranet.  You get your net access free of 
charge (can even give it out to friends maybe) when people
like me and the other people on the digex machine have to 
pay for theirs.  We arent connected like you are, dont work
in the right places or dont go to the right schools.  We 
shouldnt know about digex and the access that they make 
available to people who otherwise would be left out in the
cold?  Is it the "crass commercialism" that bothers you?  
You have some idea that commercial things shouldnt be on 
the net?  

We will see if you still have a job once ANS rips off half
of your customers.  Then tell me about how the net isnt 
"commercial" (see, Im learning this IP stuff.  Takes time, 
but with some work you can get under the covers and find the 
switches on anything ;-)

Doesn't hurt to be sleeping with an IP engineer either ;-)
