Posting on usenet seems to be a reasonable means of
getting the word out. If Jeppesen posted messages here advertising
Flite Star for a low low prices of $199 then I would expect the kind
of response that I got with my previous post. Where do you draw the
line?

Post on Rec.Aviation.Products. I draw the line anytime any money is
required to use a product or whenever the product is only a gateway to
a premium service. I am bombarded daily by "free" offers (just pay
S&H). Dell is now offering "free" Dell branded printers when you by a
computer (the Dell branded ink cartridge for the printer is $50).

The Co-Pilot program for my PDA is free and so are the database
updates (although you are encouraged to contribute, you are not
required to). That is free, and as much as I like the program, I would
not like to see it being advertised in this news group.
