- It is generally considered acceptable to post "product
- announcements" to the newsgroup comp.newprod (ONLY). It is usually
- considered acceptable to post very very brief mentions in one or two
- other newsgroups that one has posted a product announcement in
- comp.newprod.
-
- It is widely considered anti-social to do anything other than the
- above along the advertising vein on USENET and tends to get one a bad
- reputation with potential customers.
