: Firstly, why are you acting as god?

He merely pointed out that you are posting adverts in two
non-advertisement groups with an identical posting within the space of an
hour. He's well within what most people would deem as acceptable. 

: Secondly, why do you have a false email address?

For spam reasons? If you can't work out his real email address from the
false one then, well...

: Thirdly, if demon.adverts is not for advertisements by Demon users,
: what is this group for?

Really, and there was me thinking I hadn't subscribed to demon.adverts,
I'm getting all fuzzy in my old age.

Oh no, hang on:

Newsgroups: uk.comp.os.linux,demon.adverts,uk.comp.misc

I read this in uk.comp.os.linux, and it has no reason being here.

: You are the only person to respond in this manner. What's your
: problem?

His 'problem' is your incorrect usage of the group, and now there's two
people who have responded in this manner.

: Regards (or perhaps not),

I'm sure he will be most upset. Followups trimmed to demon.adverts.

Paul.

PS Thanks for repeating the entire article again.
