Hi Jeffrey,
I did not know that there were limitations on what can be posted.  Is it a
general Usenet rule?  Are you advising me in a capacity of someone assigned
to monitor this group or just an interested reader.  Although I am not at
all offended by your courteous message, I am strongly against any kind of
censorship.  This is not, after all, a porno thing, nor inciting to cause
any harm to any group.  As such, pricing seems to be a reasonable attribute
of a product.

Sorry to interfer in a worthwhile discussion of programmable compression
aids, but I do need to request that discussion of pricing be left out of the
newsgroup per the charter's agreement with the BIONET/BIOSCI administration.
 Thank you for your cooperation.
