Does anyone else find IGG's blatantly commercial (and irrelevant -- come
on, _Pearl Jam_?!?) postings as annoying as I do?  Wouldn't rec.music.
marketplace be a more appropriate location for price lists?   In gaffa, 
how about keeping it down to "IGG has lots of new items available soon --
email IGG@his.com for a price list"?  I can't speak for others, but I
will make a point of _not_ ordering anything from IGG until they get this
stuff out of gaffa.
