Not trying to control anything... So why did you write to my postmaster
to complain when I posted a simple request for playtesters?

I didn't say you made up Usenet tradition, I said that it will become
completely outmoded in the course of time. People like you are still
running in front of the car with a flag, but you are very much a minority as
can be seen from many of the opinions expressed here. I reckon that you're
getting more messages to this newsgroup discussing the subject of whether
commercial postings should be welcomed than you'd get commercial
postings if they were allowed to stand without comment.

I've not attacked you personally, I've attacked your stance. If you can't tell
the difference, you have my sympathy.
