Rich,

Does this mean that if I spam over and over, then I should not have my
account pulled? After all, all the rules of netiquette are "arbitrary." The
whole purpose of the 'net is to get information out to people who want to
read it, and to engage in "meaningful" discussion. The problem with Bob
(and I only know him from these postings, so it's a limited opinion) is
that he is sending to newsgroups where the people don't want to hear his
message, and are not the proper forum for his work. I have no problem with
his poetry (although I find it a bit too "modern" for me taste), just his
method of propagating it.
