How many more groups have you spammed? New to e-commerce, I bet. I'll keep buying from Grainger, who doesn't spam.

Dave,

Grainger is a great company, who we regularly do business with. I'm sorry you feel that one post in topical newsgroups is spamming, and hope that if there's ever a problem with Grainger, you'd give us a try. I'm sure you'll be more than satisfied.

"Lenny Schlegel" spammed some more

You don't get it.

Your spamming was not appreciated.

Neither was your top posting.

And as your your moronic "one post in topical newsgroup" criteria, that is the very essense of spamming. Newsgroups are places where people go to talk and learn. Not to be hustled. If you had been coming here awhile and making an active contribution, we probably wouldn't mind a plug for your biz. Because we would know that you have contributed.

But when the only thing you provide is spam, it is just as unwelcome wherever else we encounter it. You want to know what would really satisfy us? If you didn't come around any more. See how simple that was?

Topical? I've used a lot of powder actuated loads in my life, but never one in my woodshop.

I think it is a self defense thing. Against those "wild" exotic hardwoods. Ya know, the ones with the grain patern that always looks like it is moving.

So if it starts to move on you, you pull out the powder actuated tool (otherwise known as a gun) and shoot it before it gets you.

Ideal for folks who are paranoid and use drugs.

See Lenny, I should write your ad copy!

What have you contributed to the group?

If I was to hang an advertisement on your car or truck, would it be OK since it was a one time thing? If WalMart posted a billboard on your front door would it be OK if it was a one time thing? As you can see, you've not made many friends today. If you were a regular contributor and had your web site in the sig line, we'd soon know what you sell and if you are worthy of our business. You used the wrong approach here.

He hasn't, of course. Contrast this to some of our regular contributors who also happen to sell tools, and how their posts are welcomed.

Cue indignant response from spammer in 3...2...1...

It's people like you, who patronize spammers, that are partly responsible for the festering pile of crap in everyone else's inboxes. Thanks alot.

FTC is trying to do something about spam. I wonder if it will work. It is part of "Operation Spam Zombies". Sounds like a plot for a bad movie.

It's unfortunate that ISPs need government pressure to disconnect infected systems, but at least someone is doing it. Many ISPs are already doing that without being told to, but whatever it takes.

I did apologize, as I was not aware of this group's "rules". Now that I know, I will respect those rules and not make a post like that again. I certainly do not want my company to be confused with those companys who unscrupulously spam and bombard people with ads, viruses, spyware, etc. Maybe I erred in judgment, but I didn't realize that by making a post in a newsgroup, I would be put in the same group as those that repeatedly abuse the system.

Something to be said about learning what you're doing before you do it wrong...

Ok come on. The guy isn't flooding the group and bailing. He even had the decency to reply.

A lot of you guys sure have a bunch of double standards. Nobody seems to mind when Robin Lee tell about the latest sale, or when someone is trying to sell hand planes, or Table Saw Aligner JR (all of which are great products).

Who cares?

Larry Bud

Sure he did. First it was the standard "It's no big deal" response, then he actually seemed to get a clue. I acknowledged that just now, right there above.

And the critical difference is that all of those are cases of a person who actively participates and adds value to the group on a regular basis, and then mentions the products they sell. There's a huge difference between that, and someone coming here only to exploit the group for free advertising, while providing nothing of value.

Have you seen groups awash in spam, Larry? It's not pretty. They end up dead and abandoned to the spammers.

It also help when the product being discussed is relevant to the group. When is the last time you used a powder actuated fastener in a woodworking project?

Actually, these products may eventually lead to a whole new definition of "big iron" ;-)

Uh, I used mine just a few weeks ago (again). Of course my "woodworking project" is currently a house remodel, but I was nailing wood (albeit to concrete).

I'm a fairly regular poster here and now that the air seems clear about the sequence (substantive posts first, and then "oh, by the way" marketing posts after you've become a little more known--check with the cabal; if there is one...) and frequency (never very often), I for one hope he sticks around and adds something.

For example I'd like to know how seriously certification is taken, particularly since the big boxes sell their Remingtons (and Hilti's) to the general public without question. Robatoy can testify for us that certification is certainly a different story in solid surfacing. I wonder if there's any parallel.
