Tough, you posted inappropriately to this newsgroup, you were sent a
copy of the faq and yet you whinge...

Why didn't you post to aus.computers or send a email to the sender??

The main point here is that there are a large number of commercial
users who think they have a right to use usenet for their commercial
gain. Unfortunately there are many of them and most are repeat
offenders (Bozzo and Concorde) who do not care where they post.

<Wait for them to try and justify their posting>

Adam does a good job and all he get's back is crap for people whinging
for being told not to post here. I for one applaud Adam for all the
crap he puts up with.
