Actually I am the man who was employed to do the site - how astute of you
both. The problem is, I new nothing about fly fishing until I did it the
site and have become interested in the sport. Hence the curiosity and the
post.

Spam away my ignorant friends. Not everyone is dishonest. Unfortunately for
you both, you have no decency, nor respect or trust for your fellow man. How
sad, and how proud you must be. Being a webmaster don't you think I know
that the info you discovered would be easily found?

Please go to the nearest blind man and poke em in the eye.

Being a Webmaster who knows nothing about the 'Net and then tries to
advertise his site is, well, the word 'careless' comes to mind.

They are not SPAMming. You were. Or close enough for a rebuke. Do
you quite understand what SPAM is? It's obvious you don't understand
what newsgroups are about and what the rules are. They're less formal
than the HTML for a web site, but more deadly if you ignore them.

Not everyone is dishonest, but you were. Had you come on and stated
your interest in the site and then asked, you'd have been fine that
far. You did the equivalent of going to a party and asking about what
sort of life insurance people regarded highly while never mentioning
that you were part of an insurance company. Think about how many
people would have continued to socialize with you after it came out.

On newsgroups you'd best _always_ indicate what interest you have in a
product while discussing it in any way, shape, or form. Best to put
it in your sig file and mention it in the body of any post that
concerns any related product or service.

You screwed up. And then you came back and attacked. It's time now
for at least a brief apology and some attention to the news.newuser
newsgroup and a Google at various references to Nettiquette.

Come back on the attack again and many of us will be asking you to
hold out your head so we can get a good shot at your eye. Come back
and apologize and stay on topic and you'll probably be at least not
flamed, but may even find a mild, if wary, welcome. Your choice.
