I've certainly not ever been.

In the newsgroups I read (not all from the header) Timo's regular faq is

Your complaints with unneccessary full quotes are bothering me more.
If you like I'll send you some links on netiquette :-)

You bother me even more with your pathetic snipping. How are people =
supposed to follow what this is about. But your post and Jerold's and =
Jim's have been ****ting me for years. AND IT IS SPAM designed to drive =
traffic to you site.

Lets take kelly. She doesn't spam. As a result I reckon she gets =
thousands of referals by other users to her site (certainly a few =
hundred times a day I read a post saying go to K's site).

Over the years I've watched your spam. I've never seen anyone refer =
anyone else to your site.=20

I've certainly not ever been.

Perhaps you should only post to usenet and leave this private product =
support NNTP server off your list.

Of course your stupid crossposting (across usenet and private servers) =
means I have to click through dialogs to even send this. We all know =
finland. NAZI collabarator and when the going got tough a tratorous =
ally. No ticker, no morals.

Racially I'm partially jewish, though my family mostly angelised in =

name to street in jewish quarter. My family also used to own the suburbs =
that is now sydney's jewish quarter. A lot of the streets were I live =

But I love the wermacht and wish I was prussian. I know I could take =

malaysia, thailand, burma, taiwan, japan, then into russia and moscow =

Napolean couldn't, the turks couldn't in WW1 (they all froze), hitler =

I've certainly not ever been.

[David Candy]

Racially I'm partially jewish, though my family mostly angelised in =
early 1700s. I'm High Anglician, British race (after 300 years I think I =
am), Australian nationality. Though people with names like levy kept =
marryng in to at least 1850. Refugee to london where family changed =
name to street in jewish quarter. My family also used to own the suburbs =
that is now sydney's jewish quarter. A lot of the streets were I live =
are named after my family.

But I love the wermacht and wish I was prussian. I know I could take =
moscow. My dream now is Australia will spill out through indonesia, then =
malaysia, thailand, burma, taiwan, japan, then into russia and moscow =
here we come.

Napolean couldn't, the turks couldn't in WW1 (they all froze), hitler =
couldn't. But it's Australia manifest destiny to rule moscow.=20

The spammer is a person who puts a lot of effort into helping people. I =

not his wallet. Others here do the same and I ignore it for reasons of =

You bother me even more with your pathetic snipping. How are people =

You bother me even more with your pathetic snipping. How are people =
supposed to follow what this is about. But your post and Jerold's and =
Jim's have been ****ting me for years. AND IT IS SPAM designed to drive =
traffic to you site.

Lets take kelly. She doesn't spam. As a result I reckon she gets =
thousands of referals by other users to her site (certainly a few =
hundred times a day I read a post saying go to K's site).

Over the years I've watched your spam. I've never seen anyone refer =
anyone else to your site.=20

I've certainly not ever been.

Perhaps you should only post to usenet and leave this private product =
support NNTP server off your list.

Of course your stupid crossposting (across usenet and private servers) =
means I have to click through dialogs to even send this. We all know =
finland. NAZI collabarator and when the going got tough a tratorous =

[David Candy]

The spammer is a person who puts a lot of effort into helping people. I =
only object to the spamming, which is not major, only benefits his ego =
not his wallet. Others here do the same and I ignore it for reasons of =
not making waves (as the person is an ok person and I don't want to make =
this particular person an enemy).

You bother me even more with your pathetic snipping. How are people =
supposed to follow what this is about. But your post and Jerold's and =
Jim's have been ****ting me for years. AND IT IS SPAM designed to drive =
traffic to you site.

Lets take kelly. She doesn't spam. As a result I reckon she gets =
thousands of referals by other users to her site (certainly a few =
hundred times a day I read a post saying go to K's site).

Over the years I've watched your spam. I've never seen anyone refer =
anyone else to your site.=20

I've certainly not ever been.

Perhaps you should only post to usenet and leave this private product =

Of course your stupid crossposting (across usenet and private servers) =

You bother me even more with your pathetic snipping. How are people =

I've certainly not ever been.

The spammer is a person who puts a lot of effort into helping people. I =
only object to the spamming, which is not major, only benefits his ego =
not his wallet. Others here do the same and I ignore it for reasons of =
not making waves (as the person is an ok person and I don't want to make =
this particular person an enemy).

IMO, recognition and respect is earned from hands on, working with the

So, are you insinuating that a signature is the same as spam? If so, that
may be something to bring into light for discussion. However, my signature
comes with a reply to a post, never without.

It is very common for posters to have/use signatures. Just as the groups
you belong to or frequent. As per your question, again this is common

Racially I'm partially jewish, though my family mostly angelised in early

Australian nationality. Though people with names like levy kept marryng in
to at least 1850. Refugee to london where family changed name to street in
jewish quarter. My family also used to own the suburbs that is now sydney's
jewish quarter. A lot of the streets were I live are named after my family.

But I love the wermacht and wish I was prussian. I know I could take moscow.
My dream now is Australia will spill out through indonesia, then malaysia,
thailand, burma, taiwan, japan, then into russia and moscow here we come.

Napolean couldn't, the turks couldn't in WW1 (they all froze), hitler
couldn't. But it's Australia manifest destiny to rule moscow.

Racially I'm partially jewish, though my family mostly angelised in early
1700s. I'm High Anglician, British race (after 300 years I think I am),
Australian nationality. Though people with names like levy kept marryng in
to at least 1850. Refugee to london where family changed name to street in
jewish quarter. My family also used to own the suburbs that is now sydney's
jewish quarter. A lot of the streets were I live are named after my family.

But I love the wermacht and wish I was prussian. I know I could take moscow.
My dream now is Australia will spill out through indonesia, then malaysia,
thailand, burma, taiwan, japan, then into russia and moscow here we come.

Napolean couldn't, the turks couldn't in WW1 (they all froze), hitler
couldn't. But it's Australia manifest destiny to rule moscow.


LOL! Good luck trying to turn Germany into an island.

Technically, if one makes an honest effort to answer questions in a NG
and has a .sig that points to your 100% commercial site it's not spam.
In other words, if I ran a hosting service and answered questions here
and had my .sig direct people to my site it wouldn't be spam. A .sig is
just a .sig. Many folks have have them that show where they
work, for example.

It is very common for posters to have/use signatures. Just as the groups
you belong to or frequent. As per your question, again this is common
for/within the groups I work.

Thanks, David. I don't read the rules, it seems I either create new ones or
break them with these folks. Oh well....

It's not only common on MSNews server. On Usenet one is allowed a 4 line sig
on any topic one wants. But these usenet people very rarely understand their
own rules.

Technically, if one makes an honest effort to answer questions in a NG
and has a .sig that points to your 100% commercial site it's not spam.
In other words, if I ran a hosting service and answered questions here
and had my .sig direct people to my site it wouldn't be spam. A .sig is
just a .sig. Many folks have have them that show where they
work, for example.

I think Marco was pointing out the apparent contradiction of your posting of
"These are newsgroups and not a place for commercials" being followed by a
couple of commercials. Obviously you use the same signature all the time,
and I have no problem with it. But it is still funny, just like saying: "you
should NEVER say NEVER".
