Of course not. Spammers have defective brains
that don't allow them to see THEIR spam as a problem.
It also says its an unmoderated list
- but you are attempting to moderate it.
You are _a natural_ for the financial services industry.
**If EXACTLY what I'm doing isn't EXPLICITLY spelled out as wrong,
it can't possibly be wrong.**
Again, spammers have defective brains
that don't allow them to put themselves in the shoes of others
and see what irritating jerks they are.
If you can contact google,
and participate in the process of editing that description
Here's what Google has to say about your behavior:

Here are my suggestions about broadening your enlightenment:
1) Make an efffort to learn what USENET is.
As you have been told, this is NOT "Google Groups".
It was also mentioned that the various Web-to-USENET portals
are considered the armpit of USENET,
as they allow shady entrepreneurs like you
to post to it while remaining completely clueless.
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c...summary+qq+Web
Also, if you read the FAQ
The FAQ says to put *commercial* content in *commercial* groups.
Hint: Groups whose names don't contain
*ads* *forsale* *marketplace* or *biz *
are **DISCUSSION** groups and DON'T want your ads.
(People who aren't completely clueless
know this without having it spelled out in individual FAQs.)
Michael Black covered it nicely he
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics.components/browse_frm/thread/a016359c368157dd/68434e5260ed7821?q=when-*-*-*-*-*-created+*-doesn't-mean-*-*-*+at.a.higher.level.than.a.*.charter+no-*+qq+*.had.no.reason.to.*.mention.*+*-*-*-find-out-about-Usenet+*-*-antisocial-one+*-*-stumble-*-*-*-*-*-*
and the message on the homepage of the site I referenced,
you will see its not purely a commercial site.
Immaterial. Posts that are 100% advertisement are SPAM.
2) Learn what "participate" means.
2a) Conversely, try to imagine what **drive-by spammer** means.
3) Learn what "interloper" means.

Again, it's difficult for people with defective brains to understand
empathy,
but do try looking at it from the viewpoint of non-spammers.

4) Learn what a *sig* is.
http://www.google.com/search?q=define:sig
and learn how those are implemented on USENET .
5) Don't POST to groups that you haven't bothered to READ.
http://groups.google.com/group/misc....t+comp.newprod
6) Don't post to groups where you have no interest in PARTICIPATING.
In addition:
7) Don't TOP-post.
Any *previous* text that isn't important enough to appear *above* your
text
should be removed--but do leave enough for *context*.
Again: Google is a distortion of USENET reality and best practices.
In summary: Make an effort to get a clue
and do stop thinking the world revolves around YOU.
