Good questions, well stated problems, in general a good post to Usenet.
A rarity some days.

>>Anyone have any suggestions?

Not even a "Reply by email, since I don't read this group."  Very good.

The better to keep posting the same damned ads from....

We can spam faster than Spamford!  With four providers, even if one cuts
us off, we have backups!

Most, though, are filled with our own ads.

And our spam never expires!

We can even disguise an ad as a follow-up!  We know Usenet well enough
to pretend it's an acronym, too!

>We provide 24 hour Technical Support to corporate accounts.

Where we can teach them complex things like crossposting!

Um, just a question, and maybe I don't get this complex Usenet stuff:
if you guys are so hot, why is your email @mail.sprintlink.com, instead
of @net-link.com?  Haven't figured out sendmail yet?

Frankly, I don't think you have a clue about how the net works and don't
give a crap about the state of Usenet.  Remind me to never do business
with you.
