Hmm a pretty generic statement.  I have been a NET vendor for close 
to 6 years and I pay for my access so its not free.  And neither are 
the 800 #'s etc.  But my problem with him had nothing to do with the 
fact that his original ad went out to about 10 groups.  It has 
everything to do with bad business ethics.  It gives the rest of us a 
black eye.
