Attachments were in previous, "long range casting..." posts.

Making money is not the sole cause to be deemed spam. Since he is telling others to go to
another site, he is spamming said site. Granted some may say that it being a one shot
post does not rise to the level of spam. However because he posted "...so you will not be
exposed to all the SPAM crap" I pointed out he is doing what would not be allowed in the
Yahoo Groups.


I guess we disagree. Making money is a huge part of spam. He is
looking for people to join a simple discussion group to share
information about boat repair where commercial posts that are off topic
can be deleted. I don't see it as a malicious attack on this group and
I only saw his post in two fishing/boating groups.
