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.

No, there are others who chose to not attack you.

You might want to look at other free discussion groups. Yahoo is a bit
outdated. Check this out...
