This note concerns Mr. Martin Boyer recent posting (attached at the end)
complaining about an excessive number of announcements for the above
conference in this newsgroup.

I would like to mention that according to our records, since Nov. 2, 1994,
the IASTED office has made seven announcements, while I only posted four.
Some of these announcements where also crossed posted to close 
newsgroups (i.e. comp.ai, sci.engr.control); so, some people may also have 
seen them there.

I do not know if indeed the number of our postings in this newsgroup has
been that excessive, and somehow a nettiquete infringement has occurred.
I do apologize to those of you that may consider this to be the case.

Thank you for your attention to this subject.

Cordially,

Rene V. Mayorga

This announcement has already been posted about a dozen times.  I
think this is abusive.  Please stop.
