While I agree that advertising can be annoying, it seems
to be a necessary evil.

If products (no matter whether free or commercial) were not
advertised, we would not know about them.  If the Bell Labs
had not declared the existence of C, we would not use it
today and this newsgroup would not exist.

There seems to be a common hallucination implying that "good"
products magically find their way to the public without ever
being advertised. I have no idea how this is supposed to work,
but if you have any leads, I would be glad if you shared them.
