I didn't take that message as an ad but as a warning. Someone seriously trying to sell something usually doesn't start out with calling the product "trash". CAD programs are expensive in both money and in time to learn and really evaluate them. An early heads up can save a lot of both. Commercials of the type "My product is wonderful - buy it from me now" probably should be banned. As I said earlier, I didn't take that particular email as a commercial.

Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 08:10:08 -0800 (PST) Although it is nice to get an honest opinion of EasyPC, I don't want this to turn into a group for ads. What does everyone think? Ban ads? Ads allowed only on one day a month, like some other lists? Free-for-all? A quote from the auction: "I'm hoping I'm not the only idiot in the world for buying this trash! I don't know, may be you think Easy-PC is the best thing since sliced bread, in which case you now have the opportunity to waste your money and help me recover some of my loss. The Easy-PC program sucks. ! I want rid of it."
