Didn't you? Could you perhaps explain precisely what you meant
by the following, then, because forgive me for saying, but it
sounds an awful lot like a promise to post ads to the newsgroup
for those companies on PBM List, whether they ask you to or not...

BTW, I don't threaten, I promise: If the group decides that periodic
ads are ok, I promise I will post for companies who don't decide to
directly get involved. I should remind you that lots of coompanies
are not very comfortable with Usenet and take me up on offers like
that. It's good for them and good for their customers.<<

You might not be accused of sniping if the tone of your posts was a
little less...er, abrupt. But then again you've made it clear in your
posts that you know your way around Netiquette, so I must be imagining
it. In any case, I trust there'll be no charge of Incorrect Repetition
here, since I've quoted you directly and, I hope you'll agree, in
context.
