I'm not sure what all this is in response to, but if it's in response to Chris Parrett's post anouncing that a new version of Abyss is available, then I disagree. I have no problem with companies announcing the availability of a new product or a new version of a product - that's the sort of thing I *want* to see on this list. Obnoxious, repeated advertisements of products we already know about is what we want to avoid. My two pennies.
