I also never post on ras but think it was a very nice gesture by Paul to
quote his web site. This is just my view.

Paul Remde's post is exactly the sort of blatant solicitation that has
made me decide to always order from his competitors, who don't exhibit the
same egregious commercialization of RAS. If all were like Paul, then any
such thread would have the first post followed by a slew of responses from
everyone who sells such an item, hawking their wares.

I once read an newspaper interview with a spammer, who used the argument
that she was doing the world a favor by providing information to those out
there who _did_ want to buy her product. There will always be people who
will ignore standards established for the general good if it will benefit
them personally. I would never buy from a spammer either.

This is the first time I have posted a response to his commercial posts
and will be the last time - but my displeasure will continue to be
expressed through the discretion of my pocketbook.
