Is it just me or have you all noticed how the newsgroup keeps attracting
more and more SPAMMERS lately.......??

This ISN'T your free advertising medium! Contact your internet provider.
It's against the AUP of every one of them.....even if you obfuscate the
header!

Sorry Larry,
As a being a sailor myself, I should not make the mistake of even making a
hint to my website and my business, coming forth out of my passion,
sailing.
I am a software developer, trying to make a business out of my hobby. My
intentions were to inform the group about useful software for sailors, but
I
must admit, not completely without commercial interest.
I apologise to the group for this mistake. It wont happen again.

Seems like it would have been more appropriate to talk about something that
you're interested in, perhaps mention that you do software dev on the
subject (or not, if your post wasn't specifically about that subject), and
include a website link. That would at least give legitimacy to the link
without turning the newsgroup into a venue for adverts.
