- In this case of "rampant commercialism on the net", I think you're wrong.
- Nobody's advertising "come buy this from me"; they're simply announcing the
- availability of a free seminar, sponsored by a group that offers such
- seminars regularly.
-
- It would be one thing if IBM was posting this, offering a seminar at IBM,
- but it's the University offering the seminar. The University has such
- seminars all the time; this one just happens to be about IBM machines.

- Sorry, but you're wrong this time.
