01 Introduction (Advertising on Usenet)
Advertising on Usenet is a frequently misunderstood subject. The purpose
of this message is to explain some Usenet conventions regarding
advertising to new users and, hopefully, spare everyone involved a lot of

simply to explain the issues involved in advertising in Usenet newsgroups.
