Thank you for wasting 30 sec of my life. Perhaps you could be 
more "broad" minded and stop calling those people who are the most 
active and helpfull on the list "narrow" minded. If the guy would have 
just added an "[OT]" or "ADV" to the subject it would have saved allot 
of people from reading it.

If he has a right to advertise his products, next thing which will 
happen is that people would start advertising cobalt hats, shits, base 
ball bats, (lets not forget undergarments). In simple words there are 
rules to do every thing and this is no way to spread the word.

Take a look at the lists discription..

 "About cobalt-users : A forum for users and potential users of Cobalt 
products to share their thoughts and experiences with Cobalt products."

I would love to use his product if he would "share" more then the place 
where we can buy it from. He should have given us a link where we could 
download the script and shared his "experiences with Cobalt products".
