  These spamming bastards really get under my collar

I AM�NOT�A�SPAM.

  The thrill I get from the ones that personally mail you with a fake
  return
  Email address is beyond description! I think anyone that reads this
  spam
  should take the chance to reply to the poster in no uncertain terms
  what
  you think about spamming.

My e-mail address (tbednall@melbpc.org.au) is not fake, it was
accidentally cancelled by my ISP and will be back soon.  I�am currently
using my relative's account, so please do not mail him.

  Swear if you want!! Just tell them not to bother aussie rules again!

Sure, write to us, we value your opinion but there is no need to use
profanity.  I like to think of ourselves as a responsible and
open-minded organisation.  Which brings me to the point of this post.

Some people have contacted me expressing their concern about the size of
my advertisement.  I�would like to apologise for this - when I posted
this message I foolishly believed that I was only posting a link to a
picture on our website, not the actual picture itself.  More fool me and
I deserve every criticism you can give me for not properly understanding
my newsgroup software before sending out such a widespread post.  Any
future ads will have no graphics.

Lastly, some people have complained that this material does not belong
in some of these Australian newsgroups, and yes, it doesn't.  But like
any other advertiser, I have to make my little-known service noticed,
(in particular, by high school students) and I really don't think that
the very occassional ad for the USSU's webpage in various Australian
newsgroups is such a cardinal sin.  That's one ad every month, at most.

I�did not set out to be intrusive or offend anybody, and once again, I
apologise if either were the case.
