	BINGO. I think the above describes my feelings perfectly. I feel
	fine with blowing away somebody's access for posting a MAKE.MONEY.FAST
	message here, but saw nothing whatever wrong with the author's original
	posting.

	BTW, we went thru the same thing some years ago, trying to decide what
	was the line between commercial and not, for the Digital Equipment
	Computer Users Society Newletter. It didn't take much to come up
	with a 1 page FAQ-like sheet that gave a few "this is commercial, this
	is not" examples. I don't think it would take much to come up with a
	concencus out of this thread, and come up with a faq that gets sent
	to each new subscriber
