Here is the deal - Simons et all note

Listen up, Steve Simmons:

Usenet was established as a place where you asked questions and in returned
you shared what you knew. Of course, there are normal conversational
diversions but when someone made himself conspicuous with a commercial
intent, it was clearly verboten.

Now you know.

This post is just another marker/remider in the timeline. If you want to be
known as one of the few who disrespect this established tradition, then the
onus is on you. Pity you.
