It's like complaining about one slob tossing one beer can out of their
window. What's the big deal, right? It's only one lousy can, they all
say.

Problem comes with the rest of the slobs seeing it's OK to litter up
the place and following suit. I pick up approx a shopping bag a week
just around the foreshores outside my place. It always amazes me how
some clown can find the strength to carry a full can/bottle of whatever
to somewhere, but can't manage to carry the empty away again.

I used to use my direct email addy on Usenet way back when. Then
spammers started harvesting and it was a running war with filters. End
result is that email is crippled as a method of reaching new people
since nearly everyone automatically kills all messages from unknown
addresses. People like you can do the same thing to n/gs.

You've been told the acceptable way to promote your company.
Participate, post helpful information and leave your company URL in a
sig. Since your second post seems to be a blustering defence of the
first one I reckon you'll neither stay nor learn. That's OK, you've
just damaged your company's reputation. How many people who have
internet access don't know how to do a search for companies like yours,
FCS? If you have an internet presence, you're findable for people who
want to look.

Don't like my opinions? Sue me (that should be amusing) or killfile me.
If your next response is as clueless & hostile as this one, I'll
certainly killfile you. Life's too short to bother with crap like this.

Some meatball decided that sending 1 message to a newsgroup announcing
our website is spam. This group IS dedicated to boats correct? And
cruising correct?
One message to 3 relevant newsgroups posted manually one time does NOT
constitute spam. I have a right to responsible and rationally use this
newsgroup just as well as everyone else. I do NOT rapid fire ads to a
bunch of groups ever. I do NOT cross post. I do not send ads out on a
regular basis. I thought the groups were to announce relevant
information and links to the subscribers. I could understand if I sent
multiple postings with massive advertisment. This thing with people
witchhunting people as spammers when they are NOT has to stop. I
followed the CORRECT procedure posting relevant information to a proper
group. If he cannot prove his allegations of spam maybe he should
contain his libelous statements before someone in a legal department
somewhere gets angry and takes action. Guys I meant NO offense I only
wanted to get a LITTLE word out to people who love boats as much as we
do. Thank you.
