He didn't say he was leaving.

BTW, it's "Don't let the door hit you IN THE ASS on the way out!"

Actually it goes like this: "Don't let the door hitcha where the good lord
split ya!"

True, I s'pose. Must be my sister's green bean casserole.

IIRC, you entered this group with some sort of fake dialog between
you and the Harelaw "owner" that was an "invitation" to a paid-entry
clave. You've been spamming since then, so you can drop the fake
indignation.

Holiday greetings have been flying fast and furious on ROFF. That
someone who operates a pay-to-play kiddie trout pond somewhere in
Scotland would provoke so much enmity by adding to the holiday chorus
is ... well ... funny.

Well, the rest of us didn't say "Merry Christmas I'm selling something and
will give you 20% off and a Happy New Year." Besides that, yeah, it's
identical.

Oh, and Happy New Year, Steve!

Didn't say he was staying either.

Well, unless one means "Don't let the door hit you on the way out," in
which case most people (yeah, we make exceptions for you) would say
something like, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

See what I mean?

" pappa, My stocking is full of spam!"

Well, if it was normal bad you would have coal. Just what the heck
did you 'do' anyway???

Apologies guys, I didn't consider it spamming - just some info on
getting 20% off for those of you that are interested in visiting.

Interesting analysis. What *would* you consider spam?

well... possibly getting all your email addresses and sending to you
all directly using a mass mailer... ?

Just for exercise, I looked up the definition of SPAM. Most included
"newsgroups" or "USENET" in their description. Here's my personal favorite
from http://www.unitedyellowpages.com/int...rminology.html :
----------
Spam (or Spamming)
An inappropriate attempt to use a mailing list, or USENET or other networked
communications facility as if it was a broadcast medium (which it is not) by
sending the same [sales pitch] message to a large number of people who
didn't ask for it. The term probably comes from a famous Monty Python skit
which featured the word spam repeated over and over. The term may also have
come from someone's low opinion of the food product with the same name,
which is generally perceived as a generic content-free waste of resources.
(Spam® is a registered trademark of Hormel Corporation, for its processed
meat product.)
----------
So, yes, you were spamming. C'mon - admit it! Confession is good for the
soul. After that, you can make a New Year's resolution to never do it again.

I think this definition is more precise:
