I disagree. I am afraid that if *you* subscribe to a LUG mailing list,
you will see people forward things like this from time to time to the
list. In fact, other TLUGgers have expressed interest, so I feel my
forwarding this was justified.

I am sorry that you feel differently, and feel free to boycott this
company if you feel so strongly about it.
