The content of this thread must by now have exceded the total of

many DOZENS of (likely informative and more entertaining) ads.

One ad from each company (clearly labeled as such in subject) constantly
cycling  .....    how much space could that take??

How many companies???   many small borderline companies cannot afford

the $400 an add costs elsewhere.

A static FAQ/Listing is marginally useful, when it is a bother to locate
and its description text is limited.

A dynamic online ad,  where the content is easily updated, special events
etc ..   can be presented (many people have no slip/ppp yet),   is much more
accessable if right on the usenet.

How hard is it to have another usenet group setup for ads??
(or a least one with no excuse for the whiners)

[ no ad here ]

The views expressed are my own, even though they may
             be the same as my employers.
