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 |

Hey, Warren - it's too bad you can't re.......DOH! My reading comprehension is more than adequate for the task at hand, but I see your analytical skills are somewhat lacking. If I thought you were worthy of the time, I would probably waste more time on you and it re-post my argument in a format that was more easily understood by you. Something along the lines of "See Dick post" is probably much more appropriate when you are the intended audience.... -- Warren (use troutbum_mt (at) yahoo to reply via email) For Conclave Info: http://www.geocities.com/troutbum_mt...nConclave.html |

You (claim to) have Wolfgang in your "bozo bin" and are, therefore, unable to read his posts UNLESS someone replies to him quoting his text in full, which I did, so you'd end up reading his post anyway. Howz them analytical skills *now*, big boy? ;-) -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

Howz them analytical skills *now*, big boy? ;-) Perfectly fine, but I must still question yours. To answer your question, you must understand Gravity itself. As anyone who uses Gravity will tell you, the stock option for the bozo bin is for the "rule" to expire after seven days. I have since changed my bozo bin so additions are permanent, but Wolfgang isn't the one who resides in there. He does post some stuff that is very worthwhile, like his beautiful description of the moon he saw one night. My lack of response to him specifically is based upon my own decision to not respond and not because he was added to my bozo bin. I must confess that watching him try to provoke a confrontation has been somewhat amusing and I saw no need to change his belief that he was still in my bozo bin. As you can see, your assumption that it was Wolfgang who is in my bozo bin is wrong and so is your above argument, which had nothing to do with the subject at hand anyway..... I must admire how agile you are though as that was one hell of a nice dodge. Since you aren't going to refute any of the points I have made, which you probably never understood anyway, and merely keep changing the subject, I will consider this EOT. I will let you have the last word so that your "honor" is satisfied and so you don't look like a *complete* dumb ass. Knock yourself out. Maybe Wolfgang will help you pen a reply since you seem to need him to take the lead for you. -- Warren (use troutbum_mt (at) yahoo to reply via email) For Conclave Info: http://www.geocities.com/troutbum_mt...nConclave.html |

Since you aren't going to refute any of the points I have made, which you probably never understood anyway, and merely keep changing the subject, I will consider this EOT. You never made any points. You posted links containing other peoples' discussions and opinions on spam, unless there's another post I missed. I will let you have the last word so that your "honor" is satisfied and so you don't look like a *complete* dumb ass. Satisfying honor and posting on roff don't normally go hand in hand, and looking like a dumbass has never troubled me. Have you ever taken a look at *anyone* dressed for fly fishing and thought they looked sharp? Knock yourself out. I almost did that today in my basement. Being 6'3" in a 5'5" basement can dish out severe penalties. Maybe Wolfgang will help you pen a reply since you seem to need him to take the lead for you. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Wolfgang, could you reply fir. . . DOH! -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

The other night I saw the moon pretty much like the one I envisioned Wolfgang describing. The first thing I thought of was Wolfgang's post and how well he described what I was actually seeing. I like looking at and taking pictures of the moon from time to time, but that particular detail was something that never really registered with me on its own. I guess that in my attempts to photograph the moon, I was actually wasting my time and "missing the moment" on a picture that would not capture the detail which Wolfgang so eloquently described. I found myself just admiring the moon instead of trying to photograph it and enjoyed my time witnessing the event instead of trying to capture it. Wolfgang is a very gifted writer whom I wish would spend more time on posts such as those instead of wasting his gift on trivial ****ing contents while "defending ROFF" from whatever it is he is supposed to be defending. I can only imagine some of the trip reports that he could pen! Like the old saying goes, "I could wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first" though.... I guess I should be flattered that he chooses to spend so much time writing to and about me. :-) -- Warren (use troutbum_mt (at) yahoo to reply via email) For Conclave Info: http://www.geocities.com/troutbum_mt...nConclave.html |

Till now, it never occurred to me to wonder whether the subject was flattered by the attention. Wolfgang who, incidentally, got an "A" on the paper.......how's THAT for gifted? :) |
