• comp.newprod is reopened for submissions

    From Ivan Shmakov@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 20 15:05:35 2025
    This is to announce that comp.newprod is now reopened for
    submissions.

    According to "Comp.Newprod submission guidelines," as quoted
    in [1], "The submission must be an announcement of a new product
    or service. The product must be computer-related, and it must
    be of potential interest to a large number of Usenet readers.
    The message must be of lasting value, thus we do not accept
    trade show announcements, special pricing offers, etc.
    Commercial messages other than new product announcements are
    not appropriate for this newsgroup."

    Please review the entirety of guidelines at [1], as well as
    additional considerations / updates at [2] (that are being
    posted alongside this announcement), before posting here.

    Note that you have an option of submitting your articles via
    email at comp-newprod-submit@newsmod.am-1.org . Please refer
    to [2] for important details.

    It is my intent to post a pointer to applicable submission
    guidelines to this group several times a year, though no
    specific plan as yet.

    On a personal note, I don't hold much hope for this group, but
    still believe it deserves a chance. I don't expect Big Money
    to become interested in posting here, but it's very well
    possible that smaller, niche companies might find their niche
    audience among Usenet readers. As such, if you work at a
    company like that, or are a customer of one, I'd like to ask
    you to consider informing the appropriate sales people about
    the existence of this group. After all, they're going to write
    announcements anyway, and it'd only take reformatting those for
    Usenet to reach a wider (if slightly) audience. TYC.
