chraming so you have updated this spam It's probably time to put out the (UPDATE, LONG) posting at the next report to the newsgroup. In the meantime, I can at least post my standard rebuttal to accusations that this project is SPAM. This project is not SPAM for the following reasons, some of which are common sense, some of which are legal (based on an informal opinion from a local lawyer with some expertise in Internet-related law; since this was just consultation and not a formal client relationship, take with the appropriate disclaimers). - It is arguably not SPAM to send a response to a specific post, on a specific newsgroup, for a specific newsgroup-related reason, and do so one time to a given user. The automation is merely a means to an end, and does not, in and of itself, constitute SPAM. When you post to a newsgroup, you invite a reasonable amount of replies on topics relevant to that post and that newsgroup. - The small number of messages sent on a daily basis (usually no more than 10-15) keeps it under arbitrary definitions of SPAM without even considering exceptions or discretion (usually 25, as in the Novia AUP). - Unlike most all SPAM, the message is from a specific, real originator who reads and replies to all responses (if you write to me in reply to the message, I will get your message, will read it with interest, and will promptly send you a polite, considered reply). I realize that sending such a message invites replies, and I welcome them. - The originator's ISP is clearly identified, and has a real address where you can direct any concerns and likely also receive a polite, considered reply. - Inherent in this project is a "do not call" list. You are automatically put on it the first time you post, but can also be added to it at any time by writing to . and this one is the most interesting of all (told to me by the lawyer): - SPAM by most laws and regulations aimed at it, is defined as having *commercial* content. While I believe that other aspects of the content and how its presented does affect whether it is abusive or not, in terms of most laws established to date, my message is arguably not SPAM simply because it is not commercial in nature. -- 73, Paul W.
