dude, I've done none of the above 3 things.
1: I'm a vegetarian for ethical and health reasons.
2: spam sucks
3: only sailed in a yacht once many years ago unless you count being on a
pirate radio ship as sailing, but really it was a hulk with an anchor.

I'd have hoped a professional would know that top-posting on usenet is not a
good thing; no disrespect, but articles on usenet do expire and top-posting
simply confuses a reader who may be a latecomer to a thread.

good luck with your site, sincerely.
my main concern was that I am currently taking an interest in this group for
the precise reason that there are two known people who are prone to netKKKop
anything they see which they disagree with, which is why I wanted to warn
you about possible problems posting your site's url.
the fact that JG, who is the main offender here took it upon himself to
approve your post is slightly worrying in an unmoderated newsgroup.

Tell them dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, Then beauty is its
own excuse for being: Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose! I never
sought to ask, I never knew: But, in my simple ignorance suppose The
selfsame power that brought me there brought you. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
================================================== ====================
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.
