There ARE Usenet groups specifically setup for people to list their
commercial stuff for sale. It has been years since I've looked at
any of them, though.
Imagine how many businesses are out there. Now imagine if it
was acceptable to advertise on Usenet, what would happen if
every one of those businesses were to start advertising on Usenet.
The rule of thumb is that if your a business, and you want to
advertise, you MUST pay to do so. You either pay a newspaper,
or a radio station, or a billboard, or a yellow pages, or something.
Do you pay every time you post here? No? Well, that ought
to have been a big hint for you. Did you see a ton of commercial
advertisement posts here? Well that ought to have been another
big hint.
