From: "cc READER"

| Hi there,
| I have received a letter from my ISP accusing me of posting spam.
| Apparently, they have had 2 complaints from the same person concerning my FA
| posts in this group.
| Now I think this is absurd. There is, according to the person at Virgin
| Security, a constitution for this group (but it doesn't rule out adverts).
| I throw the matter to the groups readers, and I'd really like to know: 1)
| Who the complainer was, and 2) Do you not want adverts posted?
| Please reply
| ATB
| Chris.

This is the FIRST time you have posted text.
All of your previous posts were indeed spamming ebay auctions.

While the Charter does not specifically prohibit "spam" the Charter was created back in
1992. Before spam became a problem in Usenet.

The charter however does NOT include that sale of items. It does specifically state
"discussions" and what is considered On Topic for the News Group.

Therefore, please stop spamming this news Group with eBay auctions.
