It seems odd, given the recent discussion here about advertising
on the net, that my reply to the attached *advertisement* would
produce such howls of protest, yet the original posting elicit
no response. It mentions my publication by name, and I'll be
damned if I will let the insinuations it conveys to this
community stand without comment.
