That's right. If someone else was recommending it that wouldn't
be SPAM, that would presumably be a genuine endorsement. When
you post an endorsement of your own product that's advertising
and commercial advertising on a non-commercial Usenet newsgroup
is Usenet SPAM. This isn't news to you, like I said you're a
serial Usenet SPAMmer of longstanding.


Not according to "ANY" ISP ! ...


Just because your ISP doesn't see fit to yank your account, and
lose your money, doesn't mean commercials are welcome on Usenet
newsgroups. Some don't mind, I do. I've seen Usenet newsgroups
(skiing) absolutely ruined by commercial posts. You couldn't get
a straight honest answer out of anybody without wading through a
bunch of advertising hype and hokum.

And speaking of hype and hokum, that describes your commercials
to a T Rodney. Just don't post commercials, it's bad for business
anyway.
