It is not about loyalty it is about common courtesy.  Where I live two of
the more common gas stations include Texaco and Exxon.  I can not imagine
anyone from Texaco going over to an Exxon station and putting up
advertisement for buying gas from Texaco.

It is rude.  More than that you claim that this group is not worth
monitoring yet you continue to monitor it yourself.  You wish to deny to
others what you want to do yourself.

Just to set the record straight on the problems that have plagued this
group:


There was some slight SPAM and an anonymous poster claiming to be from the
yahoo group complained and said everyone needed to move to his group.

When not enough people signed up with the yahoo group he signed up the
listserver to every SPAMMER he could, generating a ton of SPAM.

Luckily the listserver went down and the SPAM disappeared (except for the
normal usenet SPAMs that show up occasionally and SPAM from the yahoo group
such as the SPAM I am replying to).

Now here you come from the group that has done so much destruction to this
group and again the post is you need to leave this group.

Go away, if you don't like this group then don't read the posts.  If you do
read the posts stop SPAMMING the group with your un-wanted posts.


If you continue I will report you to your ISP.
