First let me thank you for posting such a reasonable request, rather than just sending your advertising to a random selection of groups. As someone who frequently finds inappropriate commercial postings annoying, I'm encouraged to see such fine netiquette. My view is that the current level of commercial advertising relating to NetBSD (and FreeBSD) is so low that using c.o.3.announce would be reasonable. The moderator could add a keyword to commercial postings so that we can filter them out if we wish. If the volume increases, we can create another group. What do other people think? -- Richard -- Satan himself, in a sermon preached from the pulpit of North Berwick church, comforted his many servants by assuring them that no harm could befall them "sa lang as their hair wes on, an sould newir latt ane teir fall fra thair ene". - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
