IMS spray painted on a boxcar:
Since newsgroups don't have moderators, friendly reminders to ad
posters from the regular subscribers is the only thing that keeps some
newsgroups from getting overrun with them. Same is true for spam.

since when do friendly reminders work on spammers? ;-)

Expressing an opinion is NOT allowed on usenet.

I wouldn't worry I read the charter before I advertised my sewing machine,
thats why I put ADVERT in so no one had to read it.

I am writing to apologise for my actions for
a) crossposting.
b) advertising in the incorrect area's.
c) upsetting the good people who use these newsgroups for their intended
purpose.

I am pretty well conversed with the newsgroups and can only again
apologise
for my actions.
As with most other people who do this, I just assumed I was helping people
who would need the items.

I know it offends some people and I can understand this.
Please take this mail not as an excuse from me but as it is intended, an
apology.

Sorry

You couldn't possibly have read the charter for RCTS, which *CLEARLY*
states that absolutely NO advertising is allowed and should instead be
directed to the marketplace newsgroup.

Offering something for free is sorta borderline, I think. And she
offers free designs.
