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. <posted to aus.ads.forsale.computers and aus.net.policy>
