  The link no longer works; it looks like the site has been deleted by
Homestead for spamming.

Yes, this is the way to foster the longevity of the Amiga community. 
You people still treat it like a mainstream PC market - before long, you
will depend on these "spammers" in order to aquire anything at all. 
Don't you know that?  But I know, the Amiga is "still alive" and all
that....sheesh.

im not a pro spammer, im simply an honest guy who is trying to sell his
collection of original games, so i try to reach the most of people who can
interest my offers. please leave me in peace, as i sell them i stop posting.
is it REALLY so grave my posting in non-ad news? i never received
contestations by
privates so far, if someone doesnt care it, simply doesnt consider it. when
i visit news i dont attack out-of-matter posts, at least i respond them
joking.

He crossposted this ad to the following newsgroups(taken from Dejanews) :

comp.sys.amiga: advocacy, games, misc, marketplace, emulators, hardware,
programmer, applications, audio.  fr.comp.sys.amiga, aus.computers.amiga,
comp.unix.amiga, se.dator.sys.amiga, alt.emulators.amiga, alt.fan.amiga-power,
it.annunci.usato.amig, it.comp.amiga, dc.forsale.computers, alt.forsale,
misc.forsale.computers, es.comp.amiga.

Now please explain how it's relevant to _ALL_ of those newsgroups.

He has been asked numerous times(some very nice and many not quite so nice) to
not post in a certain newsgroup, which he ignores and posts again anyway.

As for his site on Homestead, they mailed me back and said that they would
investigate to see if he violated their AUP and if so take appropriate action.
apparently he did if the site is gone.

I seriously doubt that I was the only one to complain to them about his site
there.

I've also noticed several message cancels being issued concerning his sale ad, I
don't have that kind of power and I don't know anyone who would be able to do
it.  actually I don't believe in those things anyhow.

he's also being mentioned(quite a bit) on news.admin.net-abuse.

No, I would not agree that spam is different today than it was in the past.

Regardless of the situation of the Amiga, what we need is real posts, not spam.

the alt.miami newsgroup is dead since all of the Miami questions went to a
mailing list, now all that gets posted to the newsgroup is spam, do you think
that spam qualifies as `Miami discussions' there?

If you really want to help him out, why don't you buy his games and end this
once and for all?

Then they should either request it be added to their ISPs NG list, or switch
to a more competent ISP.

And so the onus falls on the readers of this group to put up with
marketplace appropraite postings because some consumer out there doesn't
have the wherewithall to choose an ISP which provides the services they
need, or to find an alternative method of posting their ads in a
appropriate place?

I don't think so.

Then go to an ISP with a clue or ask your current one to add it.  when I got on
GTE they didn't have alt.emulators.amiga available but all that I had to do is
send a request to add it and a day later, there it was.

how hard is that to do?
