Dave,

My suggestion is to completely ignore idiots like Leland. They are the
lowest form of pond scum. People like him have tried unsuccessfully in the
past to disrupt the newsgroup. The best medicine is to completely ignore
them. As I'm sure you'll see, they're most intelligent response is to yell
nasty names. Other than that, they have nothing.

I've eaten spam, but I'm not a spammer. I'm a sailor.

I sail down in Texas, and I'm a member of a sailing club and an
organization for my boat. At both there seemed to be something missing in
their websites. Since in my day job I'm a professional software developer
in my day job, I decided to start my own site. I would think to be
spammer you would need a financial motive. (I could be wrong. Who knows
what motivates some people.) Anyway, since I started the site on les than
a shoestring budget, and since I'm not in it to make a dime, I was hoping
to get the word out word of mouth. (It is amazing what you can do with
free, open source software.) I know that there is a fine line between
word of mouth and loud and obnoxious spam. That's why I will only mention
the name once, and only after I get permission from at least one person.
After that, the site will live or die on its own merits. If nobody uses
it, my wife would probably be a bit happier, because then I wouldn't have
an excuse to get out of my honey-dos. (I hope it works. I hate yard
work.)

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."
