- The policy is misguided. I think pricing information is part of product
- information and should not be left out of Public Relations releases. We
- should limit ourselves (Usenet) to PR release type information but include
- pricing. MSDOS for $300 is a far different product than 1-2-3 (or whatever)
- for $30. The pricing is part of the product, whether some Usenet policy maker
- wants it to be or not.
-
- Let's include pricing, and not hobble our communications medium. However,
- let's restrict ourselves to PR type information (just the facts m'am.).
