We'll be glad to take your ads in the Usenet newsgroup
sci.techniques.mass-spec. Our charter does not prohibit ads or
announcements, but requires that they not be the whole sales brocure. A
short announcement with directions about how to get more information is
best. For those who have items to sell a short article like the one that
started this thread is fine.

I try not to be too intrusive here, but I'd like to invite you all again to
participate in the newsgroup. I've forwarded several of the articles from
this list to the newsgroup, but I probably don't catch them all. If you
have mass spec questions, we'd be glad to help. For more information,
check out our Web page at <http://www.chemistry.gatech.edu/stms/>.
