This was a discussion in mail a while back when I posted some product
announcements.  I was adminished -- very professionally and with good
will -- for this.  I was told that some folks would get their news links 
severed if commercial information passed through them.  (I don't claim
to understand this fully. Such information while obviously good for the
vendor is also supposed to be good for the customer.)  New.products was
suggested but the guidelines for that are for postings that are a 
screen page at most in length.  biz groups is what was suggested also.

Now, I feel like we are stuck.  I understand what you are saying in the
UK, but I also hear what the folks here are saying regarding the rules.
How should we play?
