Juan Antonio,

Juan Antonio,

You obviously did not understand what the names of Usenet newsgroups stand for: It
is the declaration of the topic people discuss about in these groups. And if someone

like you thinks he's got to crosspost a message to such a big number of newsgroups
(in which the message is in most cases completely off-topic) we call this SPAM.
Whether or not you are successful with your posting does not matter. If everybody
would act the way you did the usenet would be destroyed within only a few weeks
(this is the reason for my protest).

Please read the Usenet "Netiquette" before you post again. Rule number one: You
shall not crosspost. Rule number two: You shall not post off-topic messages.

If an employee of an Enterprise like Sun Microsystems is not respecting this
Netiquette in an official posting, this is certainly not a good advert for this
Enterprise. That's what I wanted to say.

Simon
