- Yes, it is hurtful. This Margolis guy is getting free advertising at
- taxpayer expense. As a taxpayer, I do not appreciate this. Also,
- commercial stuff going over the NSF backbone is *illegal*.
- Finally, as a privately run site, I do not appreciate paying for transmission
- time for blatantly commercial postings. Why can't this Margolis guy play a
- fair game and advertise properly and legally, hmm?
