Please clarify what you mean by "here": all of the groups that you posted
your response in, or only dk.edb.programmering?

The announcement you reacted to was posted to the most appropriate
"programming" newsgroup of various European countries, as we specificaly
wanted to reach people in those countries that are interested in
programming but do not follow the comp.lang.ada newsgroup.

We do not think its contents is off-topic in those groups.

Whether it is considered spam depends on the reader, but we receive
almost exclusively positive reactions to the few announcements that
we post per year in those newsgroups.

Sorry that our announcement disturbed your newsgroup reading.

If this is a general feeling of the readers of these newsgroups then we
will of course reconsider our posting behaviour.
