I notice that the ads seem to be gone from Ocon customers posts.

also, just a minor thing, I found this when searching for some of
Brendans "observations" about if most companies offer a server, all have
to, or state otherwise. This isn't it, but may be of interest to you lot.

Nope, but it did say on that page that if the service is agreed to then
they must provide a reasonable service or if they advertise a service
which I think you could say that they have done by posting in a publick
forum, i.e, this NG that a certain service is not only available but has
been upgraded.

Nevermind, I worked it out.

For anyone else who didn't get it right away, they are talking about the
newsfeeds.com advertising at the bottom of posts

Don';'t think there is any question of that, but there is a question over
whether they are required to provide a news server in the first place.

This one, though apparently it is now gone. Of course people could
always have put their own sig file at the end of their posts with the
"-- " so it didn't get reposted all the time......

The newsfeeds banner at the bottom of each outgoing message.

Whether they are required to in the first place is a moot point in this
case as they have advertised it as a service.

no they havent, unless mentioning it on their webpage, one page only, is
advertising it.
personally I dont see it as advertising, only one mention on their
server page.
