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".

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?

Probably.  Why not offer an article on your favourite subject?  As long
as -you- aren't advertising too!
