Right.

And Steve Knight, Ed Bennett, and many others aren't? G



Barry,

I agree there is some hypocrisy here (and yes, I saw the "G"). Steve and
the others evolved their business whilst participating in the wreck. They
have encouraged and helped others as active participants - as you would
know.

This "infoman" is a get-rich quick person who has not participated in the
wreck at all.

To allow businesses to openly shill their wares is an invitation to destroy
the group by flooding it with commercial, large volume advertising (spam).

Again, I agree the issue with Steve, Ed et al is hypocritical, however, they
_are_ long term contributors who provide a wealth of input to discussions.
Not blatant spammers like the OP.

I am happy to take any further discussion to email, as this thread is
getting more advertising than it deserves.

cheers,

Greg

spam (spam) noun

An unsolicited e-mail message sent to many recipients at one time, or a news
article posted simultaneously to many newsgroups. Spam is the electronic
equivalent of junk mail. In most cases, the content of a spam message or
article is not relevant to the topic of the newsgroup or the interests of
the recipient; spam is an abuse of the Internet in order to distribute a
message (usually commercial or religious) to a huge number of people at
minimal cost. (MS Bookshelf '99)
