No, this is Mark just being one of the good guys.  There are far too
many nitwits posting URLs in news.... Look - if you want to sell some
stuff in news then do it there.  If you want to auction it off that's
fine too - just don't waste anyone's time posting crap about that in
news.  Clear enough?  Good.

For once Netcom is actually taking the lead in doing it right - you
guys should be thanking him for it!
