BUT	(1) You can always unsubscribe to a newsgroup.
	(2) There are enough different businesses with machines on the net
	that you probably get more information on products that might
	interest you than products of your competitors.
	(3) You might want to know just what your competitors are up to.

STILL	(1) Net.ads would still be net traffic.
	(2) It could get large, as businesses tried to outdo each other.

It MIGHT be worth a try, but subject to quick death if it got out of hand.
