First off, sending a complaint is not trying to control anything, it's
just sending a complaint -- do you call people control freaks for
writing a letter to the newspaper? Second, if you recall what was
going on at the time, I think I had just been explaining that most
internet providers prohibit advertising, and then you disagreed and
posted a couple of blatant ads. Ergo, you asked for it. But if you
want to replay history with a different interpretation, I can't stop
you.

Most legitimate businesses seem to disagree with you. I doubt you've
won many customers with your postings here. But you have done a good
job at teaching people new to the Internet about its traditions, and I
thank you for that.
