I think net.ads is a good idea; however, commercial ads should be
posted to net.ads *only*.  Specificially, posting an ad to a group
relayed to the ARPAnet can cause all manner of trouble, up to and
including severing the gateway for that group.  I don't think anyone can
keep track of exactly which groups are forwarded -- I sure can't -- but
I know that net.micro, net.works,  and net.unix-wizards -- some of the
most likely candidates for multiple groups -- are.
