 Excuse the interjection, but I must agree that you do tend to abuse the 
 privilege when it comes to blatant advertising in most of your messages.  
 I have monitored the Australian Modem Conference for the better part of the 
 last couple of months, downloading 2 - 3 times a week and you have generated 
 considerable response to your correspondences, although a surprising number 
 of them have been negative.  Your product(s) may be very good but you appear 
 to do them a dis-service when you have alienated a large number of people.  
 I have no axe to grind, just offering my observations.  Sorry if they offend.
