This is all very well for USA readers of news, but what about us in the UK? We dont get (or at least I don't get) the biz groups. Important stuff on UCX etc ought to be available net wide. -- Jeremy Maris,Experimental Psychology,University of Sussex,Brighton,England.

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? Fred
