That's a bunch of hooey, Rodney. What Usenet readers of non-commercial
Usenet newsgroups want is a newsgroup free of commercials, a newsgroup
where they know the information is honest, personal opinion and not
a bunch of marketing hype.

Sometimes what "sounds" like hype, is honest personal opinion, or even
better than that, controlled test results.

I'm not here to "push my products", it's not worth the effort, but I do
like to share to those who do want to listen, and learn on this group,
just because I love the sport, and using my products is the only way I
fish, they are the only thing I can give expert advice on. I hold back
on it, because of a few on here, who don't like me talking about 50 bass
or 100 trout days, because they think it's B.S./hype, when actually,
it's a normal day on the water for me, I can't share how I do it here,
because it can't be done on a regular bases, without using my
inventions, and the "way" I use them, and telling "how" here, is called
spam, although I'm not personally "selling" the products.

You're right about one thing, it's not worth the effort to SPAM
rofb. It seems to me that Joe & Company are way better at it than
you ever were, I mean you're something of a pariah here because
of your SPAMming and they're not, but all that aside posting
commercials here is quite simply bad for business and no business
person in their right mind would deliberately harm their business.
