If you look at some of the other objections to the original product
announcement, those had to do with the presence of much marketing
doublespeak which didn't give a clue what the product really did.
Considering the technical nature of this list, it would be more
appropriate to dispense with the c--p directed to clueless management
types and get immediately to the point, so it would be obvious whether
further reading was a useful expenditure of time.
I read through the whole post only because I was morbidly curious
whether it would set a new record for how long it took to get a clue
whether the product had any relevance.

Personally, I don't mind an occasional product announcement, from whatever
vendor, as long as they follow whatever rules have been setup for the listserv.
I did not care for the insult, nor for its public airing.
In my not so humble opinion, both parties were unprofessional.
My question in respect to listserv product announcements remains.
I really don't feel comfortable criticizing the original poster if we don't
have a policy against product announcements in place.
