I see - that's how it works? You spam people, and expect a
polite email asking you to stop it?

You say your message was specifically aimed at the group - if
that's the case, then one might have expected you to have done a
little research, found the groups FAQs, and read the bit (in big
red writing) about commercial posts.

I thought part of the raison d'etre of spammers was specifically to
collect valid email addresses to sell onto other spammers.....

How d'you like your SPAM. You can 'ave Spam with chips. You can 'ave your
spam with spam, or you can 'ave it wiff even more chips. :-))

SPAM is normally defined as unsolicited advertising e-mail which is created
to gain the sender profits from selling wares or services for personal gain.
The law now states that such e-mail must only be sent to persons who have
asked for such mailings to be sent to there personal e-mail service for
their perusal.

That's why most software is packaged with the option to "Opt In" to the
makers offer of sending you information of other products which might be of
interest to.
