It is very simple, really.  If "The Solution" becomes a conduit for
advertising to Usenet, I will no longer allow their articles to pass
thru here.  This applies to any other site wishing to post advertisements
(as opposed to press announcements or individuals' commercial
transactions).

Other sites can act as they want in this matter.  If they feel I am
wrong they can cut of news to me; if I is right then the goal
has been accomplished.
