[net.news] ads on the net

sr (10/20/82)

The point to understand about ads on the net is that there is no clear consensus
about what is correct use of the net, much less enforcement of rules of 
conduct or standards of usage. This means the net is wide open to exploitation
by commercial enterprises. I get on the net and tell people I need cs-types
or I have micros for sale and I can support that these things are of wide
interest in the groups where I posted them. But what is to stop the net
from becoming a medium of commerce?
Oh,yeah! When the situation arrives we will recognize it and take steps...
Who "we" and who has the right to say what should be on the net?
I just don't like things that belong in classified ads appearing in the net.
