I too, like us all, have received a commercial email advertisement from some outfir trying to sell me email space. I am not sure why I and all of us are getting these from vsnet, but I for one DO NOT WANT to continue to get them. so either remove my name, or I will stop being a subscriber. I can't imagine why we have this, but my guess is that someone gets vsnet and decided to use the alert network for their advertisment. I suggest the vsnet system administrator find out who it is and stop them. This is not a commercial venture . Sincerely, Steve Howell
