In Jim's defense, the header didn't say "Plug" or "Ad" ... and I
actually thought "some user is posting something (perhaps a gripe)
about some promotional pricing offer of HP's".  So, I was a little
surprised to see it was something about exegysis (sp?).

BTW, I didn't even *try* to read the attachment ... it was in
MS Word format.  I have no interest in spending the time it
takes to pull it apart on the Unix machine where I read my
email (in elm), move it to my PC, and then virus check
it just to read an ad.  Advertisers are better off simply posting
plain ASCII text.
