     Dear N..... N............!

1. Unfortunately, to answer exhaustively
It is impossible to answer your question at once.
("<...>ALL hardware and software manufacturers
<...>").  And it’s not so much the lack of
type the necessary information. Full information

NOBODY IS AVAILABLE, accept this as axiomatic
mu. Therefore, when I see the quantifier "ALL", then
I perceive this, partly, as naive. Te-
let's go point by point:

1.1. Not everyone who works in hardware and software
that they are ready, have the desire and conditions / re-
resources for direct contact with the user -

delegate (i.e. entrust) questions to me
mailings (feedback by mail).

1.2. Not everyone who works in hardware and software
volume in Spectrum, releasing FINISHED
consumer costs, there are also manufacturing
holders of semi-finished products (i.e., in essence, these are
contractors).  As you understand, they have no need
have conditions for forwarding and distribution
your addresses.

1.3. Not everyone whodeals with hardware and software
Tom at Spectrum is interested in a wide
advertising. And I, of course, must take into account
their interests.  Let me note in passing that this is not

The problem is different, they work very
narrow area / market segment and find
clients WITHOUT wide, open advertising.

Now in Russia there are a lot of “mad cap-
talov".  In fact, these are not even capital, but
just money bags. If such a "capital"
leaf" (or simply a thief) comes to their se-
torus of the market, then it destroys everything: the structure

1.4. Not everyone who deals with hardware and software

reliability. We are talking about the stability of the company.
If I provide you with doubtful
my opinion, addresses, and you there, rudely speaking

You'll think of me and Spectrum as a whole.

Why should I provide them with advertising?

That is, in essence, to subsidize them?

Let's sum it up. It is not clear from your letter
who are you? If the user, then enough
exactly the usual price list. If you harass
(except upscale bubbles
"buble gum" (see TV)), then
bluntness to information may be broader.
By the way, the price list contains CPG COM addresses -
PEX and ISCRA Soft. If you are a Spectrum-tray
der, then where are your sales? I don't see them.
Maybe you're a "weenie" altogether. why write
"My address", if you can write "My hell-
res".  This is a typical pisyukan syndrome,
The environment is English-speaking - the roof goes on.
