Fine. You want me to do your research for you? Here. It didn't take
much googling to find:

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/posting-rules/part1/

http://www.sodak.com/usenet_postings.htm (a specific ISP's guidelines,
but it's not their TOS; they are just explaining usenet norms to
newbs)

http://www.emsdesigns.com/aup.htm

Where we see language like:

"There exists an alternative hierarchy called "biz" specifically for
commercial postings."

"Advertisements, solicitations, or other commercial postings should
only be posted in those newsgroups whose charters/FAQ's explicitly
permit them."

"Posting commercial messages to a USENET group is a violation of this
policy unless that specific USENET group has invited commercial
postings in its charter."

The general and longstanding disdain of usenetters for commercial
postings is very widely known; I'm amazed that any of you would claim
otherwise.

Google searches for queries like "usenet commercial disdain" or
"usenet "commercial postings"" will turn up plenty of other examples
as well as the three I cited.

Satisfied, arnehole?
