to which Peter Hallett of Precision Visuals (mpfh@pvi.UUCP)
responded with two pages of blatant marketing.

At RSI (The authors of IDL and the majority of what is
now sold by PVI as PV-WAVE) we've been reading this newsgroup
since its inception in order to gauge user concerns and opinions,
but have refrained from posting so that comp.lang.idl-pvwave
can remain a useful technical resource free of commercial hype.
We feel, however, that PVI's inappropriate message requires this
response.

Such messages are not appropriate for USENET. This is a non-commercial
medium and certainly not an unpaid advertising service. We believe
that the original question was probably intended for *users* of the
two products --- not the companies that stand to benefit financially.

Clearly, we don't agree with everything PVI had to say in their
posting. Rather than use further net bandwidth however, we invite
anyone interested to email or phone us directly.
