I am a very sorry for apparent abuse of these newsgroups.  I am
relatively new to the internet/www.  I have seen the term "SPAM" many
times on the few newsgroups that I had visited but never knew what it
meant.  I thought that ads were common and accepted.  Boy, was I
wrong!  I have received a ton of e-mail from angry newsgroup readers
and I accept the blame and frustration vented in those letters.

It will take a while to post this apology to the approx. 150 newsgroup
I "SPAMMED."  I have to scan them to remember which ones I sent my ad
to.

Thank you for taking the time to read this apology,

Jon of Northrope Books, a division of Shiloh Communications.
p.s. Those letters worked!  I'll never advertise in an inappropriate
newsgroup again.  Keep writing them when you are "SPAMMED."
