-->How about a news group for product announcments and adverts (net.adds
-->or net.madison_ave)?  That is a portion of the net that is SPECIFICLY
-->for comercial purposes.

-->Any discussion on this?

I think this is a terrific idea. There are probably as many people who like
reading advertisements (which can often be a source of valuable
information) as those who think they stink. Text-only ads, as on the net,
are probably a lot less objectionable than pictures of scantily-clad young
ladies used to sell ball bearings, but they should still have their own
newsgroup. I propose it be called net.ads, and second the motion.
