I think a new products newsgroup would be great if people actually used it.
(We would.)  I think however it should be called net.ads, admittedly a break
with the grand marketing tradition of doublespeak.

In the "What is this newsgroup anyway" message #1, use of more than seven
asterisks or exclamation points per message should be discouraged.  Exact
figures, verifiable prices, and working return addresses (uucp, postal,
phone, twx, etc) should be encouraged (breaking with tradition again).
