Hi Mike,

You're not reading my messages properly.  I am not opposed to advertising on
this list, I am opposed to end users being allowed to advertise companies,
but companies not being allowed to advertise themselves.  I saw this when i
sent informational messages about Window-Eyes betas and got jumped on.

All the best

Steve

Steve, if you're so opposed to 'advertising' on this list you might want
to review the contents of your email signature.
