You can leave your attitude at the door please. The MS NG's may use the
USENET, but they have etiquitte and rules of their own. This kind of post
is an advertisement for a product. This post neither addresses a post made
by anyone or a specific VB.NET coding problem that someone has asked about.
There is a big difference between responding to someone and saying, "Hey,
there's a product we make that can solve your problem" and just posting an
unsolicited ad for a product.
