[comp.os.os2] Apology about PCSA for OS/2 article

CCMK@latvax8.lat.oz (Mark Kosten - Computer Centre, La Trobe Uni.) (05/02/90)

Sorry about the posting of the product description of PCSA for OS/2.
I have been told that is bad form because of the commercial aspects,
and that it should go to comp.newprod.

Don't apologize.  I found the information useful *and* I don't regularly
read comp.newprod.  As long as people don't get *too* carried away, I
wouldn't mind seeing the odd announcement -- after all one can always
look at the message title/subject and simply decide not to bother to read
the file.  It's not as if comp.os.os2 is clogged with messages.
(Now it's my turn to apologize!)

Be that as it may, we found the posting very useful.  If it had been
posted to comp.newprod, we would have appreciated at least a reference
in comp.os.os2 so that we would have known to look there.
