-snipped the advertisement- Hope to see you there. And yes, it’s free. Bob McMillan, Conference Moderator Dear Bob. That is a wonderful free resource. However, the Advertisment Committee of ASD (alt.support.depression) wants you to know that we do not allow free advertising here on this newsgroup. I am sure that you understand. Sincerely Stewart
I think this is a ridiculous and RUDE response; despite the contradiction as reads above! This is not advertising as one would normally want to kill-file on. Telling me how to make millions, if I act NOW, by stuffing envelopes is TOTALLY different than a ng.-related offering of an innovative resource that costs nothing but the time for interested individuals. So, Stewart, eat your third, last line and let everyone else get on with the challenge of living in the best ways possible!
