occasionally posting something like this.
Look up the definition of spam. This is not spam.


What newsgroup are you talking about? It was cross posted to five
groups, including news:sci.electronics.equipment. When the electronics
newsgroups were created, a specific newsgroup was also created for all
sales in the news:misc groups. For sale postings are not allowed, by
the newsgroup charter for the following groups:

OK, I didn't notice the cross-posting. I posted my reply from
alt.guitar.amps, where similar postings occur relatively frequently.

I have no problems with that. If news:alt.guitar.amps was created for
the porpose or it doesn't say in the group charter and no one complains,
make use of it.

There aren't supposed to be any 'for sale' postings in any of the
news:sci.* groups. That was why the
news:misc.industry.electronics.marketplace group was created. We go
through floods of spam, both electronics, and unrelated that make some
of the electronics newsgroups almost unusable. That is why we do our
best to inform the offenders. Politely, when that works, but some of
the guys can get VERY aggressive qwith repeat . We have had a lot of
cross posted crap lately, and it seems to keep spreading when the new
groups are noticed. If people would use
news:misc.industry.electronics.marketplace like it should be, it would
be a nice resource. Right now, it gets unrelated crap becasue no one
seems to care.

Threats of bodily harm are out of line everywhere. Roll it back a notch.

It was his idea for me to get on my knees. Its not my fault that he
didn't read my sig file. I only get on my knees to pray, or shoot! ;-)
I'm in too much pain to do it for ANY other reasons.

BTW, I repaired a lot of amps back in the '70s and '80s, till I got
tired of guys that were in a big hurry, then didn't have the money for
months to pay their bills.

Here you go:

This is not spam.

WRONG.

Cross-posting to a group where SPAM is expressly forbidden
makes the post SPAM.

Really, it's not that big of a deal.

....if you want your group overrun with *more* SPAM.

This happens in unmoderated NG's all the time.

Only when the limp-wristed denizens of those groups bend over and take
it.

There's nothing you can do about it.

WRONG. Take it up with hs providers.

Live with this or use your filter.

....AFTER you go pro-active and report the offender to his Posting
Host:
abuse@ prodigy.net

and to ebay whose Terms of Service forbids Usenet SPAM.
abuse@ ebay.com

and to Google Groups if he is posting from there.

IMHO, he followed the accepted standard,
marking it "FA" for which a filer could so easily be established.

ONLY if ALL the groups on the To: line *allow* SPAM. THEY DON'T.

Your knowledge of Usenet history is SERIOUSLY lacking.
Usenet was set up as a DISCUSSION medium.
Those groups that have a need for a place for commercial postings
then set up a sub-heirarchy called *marketplace* or *forsale*.
THOSE are where FA or FS are appropriate.

This complaint is bogus.

Says the limp-writed nancy who bends over and takes it.

Do you see "FA" in the newsgroup name anywhere? No? Well, then why the
