I really get a kick out of people who, when faced with the fact that they
have been called on their spamming, say that those who were spammed are
too
'sensitive', implying that the fault lies with the spammed, not the
spammer.

Not at all - I take all your points on board but I'm not going to let it
spoil my day.

Nor should it spoil your day.

But I equate the tone of your 'you poor sensitive souls' remark to something
akin to '**** you, I don't care if my SPAM ****ed you off'. That, sir, is my
point. I hope it's taken 'on board'.

Like I said have a good holiday season and great new year - whatever your
personal fishing preferences!

You, too.

not sure what you mean - Brian did respond at some point on an issue I had
with Kens description of Harelaw.

If the conversation has been going on recently then its nothing to do with
me. It wasn't a fake conversation though - if you think that was fake - fair
enough - I'm not going to lose sleep over that either.

re. the term sensitive - I was using it in the sense that I felt the
response to my 'spam' was a bit ott.

anyway, I'm leaving it there - I'm going to watch a Hugh Falkus vid. - far
more entertaining than having a squabble. :-)

" pappa, My stocking is full of spam!"

Well, if it was normal bad you would have coal. Just what the heck
did you 'do' anyway???

Apologies guys, I didn't consider it spamming - just some info on
getting 20% off for those of you that are interested in visiting.

Interesting analysis. What *would* you consider spam?

well... possibly getting all your email addresses and sending to you
all directly using a mass mailer... ?

Just for exercise, I looked up the definition of SPAM. Most included
"newsgroups" or "USENET" in their description. Here's my personal favorite
from http://www.unitedyellowpages.com/int...rminology.html :
----------
Spam (or Spamming)
An inappropriate attempt to use a mailing list, or USENET or other networked
communications facility as if it was a broadcast medium (which it is not) by
sending the same [sales pitch] message to a large number of people who
didn't ask for it. The term probably comes from a famous Monty Python skit
which featured the word spam repeated over and over. The term may also have
come from someone's low opinion of the food product with the same name,
which is generally perceived as a generic content-free waste of resources.
(Spam® is a registered trademark of Hormel Corporation, for its processed
meat product.)
----------
So, yes, you were spamming. C'mon - admit it! Confession is good for the
soul. After that, you can make a New Year's resolution to never do it again.

He didn't say he was leaving.

BTW, it's "Don't let the door hit you IN THE ASS on the way out!"

IIRC, you entered this group with some sort of fake dialog between you and
the Harelaw "owner" that was an "invitation" to a paid-entry clave. You've
been spamming since then, so you can drop the fake indignation.

Holiday greetings have been flying fast and furious on ROFF. That
someone who operates a pay-to-play kiddie trout pond somewhere in
Scotland would provoke so much enmity by adding to the holiday chorus is
.... well ... funny.

Well, the rest of us didn't say "Merry Christmas I'm selling something and
will give you 20% off and a Happy New Year." Besides that, yeah, it's
identical.

Oh, and Happy New Year, Steve!
