Might I suggest the following:
First - I agree that outright "advertising" should not be done.
This is a "free" medium to be used only for the purposes
of information exchange pertaining to IPC issues. I can
already see the marketing types drooling over using
(clogging) a "free" medium to advertise their wares.
Second - Our friends at IPC who run this "free" medium are already
overworked as are lots of other folks in the IPC world.
We can't afford to have our folks a IPC "filtering" out crap
like this on top of what they already do. This will only
drive up their workload and (worstcase) make it impossible
to run the Nets efficiently, or even to run it at all.
So here's my two cents: to those marketing types out there, get your
own Net and call it: [log in to unmask]

This is the second time this individual has used technet to sell his goods.
I am willing to boycott any supplier who posts UNSOLICITED ads to the net.
How about you? Do others share my negitive bias towards ads here?
Please let me know when this guy buys a sales booth at a trade show. I
want to set-up a evangelistic, aggressive, convert seeking, come to {Allah,
Jesus, Buddha, Joseph Smith, fill in your favorite here} revival booth
right next to his. :-o Perhaps then he would know how I feel about his
ads.
Don't get me wrong. If someone posted a question like "Can anyone do
conversions to AutoCAD?" then his posting would have been great. Of
course, from MY sales booth I would respond, "No, but we can do conversions
to Jehovah's Witnesses" ;-)
(I apologize to any who are offended by my use of religious humor.)

Cadence Allegro(TM) to AutoCAD(TM) Utility
==================================
Conquest has developed a software utility that automatically creates
AutoCAD(TM) drawing files (.dwg files) from a Cadence Allegro(TM) design
database file (.brd file). The software is available now and is priced at
$240 per copy.
The "alg2dwg" utility will create AutoCAD(TM) drawing files corresponding
to layers defined in the film setup within the Allegro database. The
utility works with Cadence Allegro(TM) releases 10 or 11, and requires the
Cadence DXF output software and AutoCAD(TM).
AutoCAD(TM) to Cadence Allegro(TM) Utility
==================================
Conquest has also developed a software program that automatically
translates AutoCAD(TM) drawing files (.dwg or .dxf files) into subclasses
within a Cadence Allegro(TM) design database file (.brd file). The
software is available now and is priced at $240 per copy.
No special setup or conversion files need to be created. The "dwg2alg"
utility translates the AutoCAD(TM) information into Allegro(TM) Board
Geometry Subclasses. The utility works with Cadence Allegro(TM) releases
10 or 11, and requires the Cadence IGES input software and AutoCAD(TM).
