[sustran] Sorry about advertising

[J.H. Crawford]

I don't know if this relates to the "spam" that people are talking about,
but I don't really think that Randy Ghent's announcement was spam.
I have, myself, posted a similar announcement about Carfree Times here,
and not received any complaints. As a matter of fact, the new issue 
just went on line at:

	http://www.carfree.com/cft/i006_qz.html

I think Randy's announcement was appropriate for this news group, and
I would hope that people would feel the same way about my announcing
Carfree Times. (I, also, wouldn't do this more than once a year.)

If people think that this sort of thing is spam, then maybe we need
to discuss our ground rules a little.

>> Sorry about the recent spam (unsolicited email advertising) and the
