Spam is one of those things that fit into the "I know it when I see it" categories. AFAIC, i saw it in this post, but it fits none of Anglerboy's criteria: --------------- 1. Spam is an unwanted solicitation to buy something. I did not see that the original poster asked anyone to BUY anything. Spam is NOT just anything posted that one doesn't like or happens to disagree with. 2. When a brother of the angle asks for a little advice or help, I think it should be given in the nature in which it was asked. Intimidation and name-calling are off topic. 3. Civil discourse is sadly lacking in our society. It is possible to disagree with someone without resorting to profanity and name-calling. Those are the weapons of bullies, and surely we have more than enough of those. Perhaps there is a newsgroup called alt.shrill.cuss.bully.infantile, for those who insist on taking that tack. We are here to discuss fly fishing. I think it takes more maturity to exercise restraint and remain silent, than to twist an innocent post into something it isn't. 4. [HWMNBN], you don't deserve to be flamed. Your site looks very professional, but the products are a bit sparse (understandably, for a new business) in a few departments. Good luck to you in your venture, it is obviously a labor of love. Cordially yours, Anglerboy --------------- So, is the original post in this thread spam or not? By the above rules, no. By the "four or fewer lines in the signature line" test, no. Could it be considered on-topic, probably. But it sure smells like spam to me. -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

Why, yes I did, thank you. I take it that you did not because your questions would have been answered. By who? Walt, rw, and Willi? So *THAT'S* the criteria you use. Hmmmm, I thought those were just their opinions, but that's just my opinion. So, is the original post in this thread spam or not? By the above rules, no.

If it looks like spam, smells like spam and tastes like spam,
then it's spam. Ernie |

It actually demonstrated the convention that predated your arrival to this group. Perhaps if you still don't get it, perhaps you need a usenet FAQ that clearly defines what spam is. See the "How to advertise on Usenet" section. ftp://ftp.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/advertising/how-to/part1 There's plenty of them out there and they all kind of say the same thing so knock yourself out. See my previous posts - the ones that said BIOYA. :) I would, but you seem busy enough as it is. ;-) -- Warren (use troutbum_mt (at) yahoo to reply via email) For Conclave Info: http://www.geocities.com/troutbum_mt...nConclave.html |
