   Was anyone else as disgusted as I was with the article in the Computer
   Bulletin about grammar checkers? How can they let someone write an
   article that promotes their own product quite so shamlessly without
   marking it clearly "Advertising Feature".

   L.

I agree whole-heartedly. Other companies have to *PAY* to have 2 pages
of advertising space. How come the author of this article didn't? With
the BCS finances as they are, we should all be asking that question.

Or are the editors of Bulletin so short of material?
