Actually, when I posted my second ad in 2 years, I got a number of
positive responses, and one complaint.  That complaint was from you, Greg,
threatening to report me to my ISP for improper use of Usenet (Not that I
think my ISP would give a fig for posting in this newsgroup).
  I would say that pointing to an isolated incident that was so blatant as
to attract open flaming is a rather poor misdirection from the simple
statement that the vast majority of complaints (in my limited experience)
about ads in this newsgroup come from one person.
