wtitten by the futuresguy@geocities.com:

i assume by 'avalanche' you mean mailbombing. this threat has been duly
noted.  you accuse me of spamming the wpg.general ng. i disagree, for
the following reasons:
a) i trade the winnipeg commodity exchange on a regular basis
b) i have clients in winnipeg who are interested in what i have to post
   in that particular ng
c) wpg.  is relevant to commodity trading and related subjects, esp.
agriculture
d) .general - by definition - means many varied subjects
e) mailbombing is an abuse of netiquette and of an internet provider's
services. i wouldn't recommend it. ilos and geocities have also received
copies of this email, for future reference.

if you wish to get into a debate with me, smarten up, improve your
grammar, then come back and try again.


Dear Mr.Hill


Well here I am smartening up! You assume by avalanche I meant e-mail
bombing. You have assumed wrong! I was refering to the avalanche of
complaints you will be getting if you continue to spam certain .gen
groups. 

I suggest to you that your customers would be better served if you
actually spent time working for them. A quick check in dejanews reveals
that you post on average 3-4 times a day. Do you consider your 
customers so illerate as they need to read your advertizing (I call it
spam) 3-4 times daily? I also am wondering why, living in Calgary, that
you do not include them in your SERVICE!! Fear not, I have included them
here, as I am sure it was just an oversite. You say you have clients
here, well I doubt it but maybe you can get 1 or 10 to post a reply to
this thread. To me sir, you are advertizing for customers, which does
not belong in a .gen group as you full well know. I have included all
the other ng's that you post to in the header, so you know where to
post. I can only conclude from this that you are advertizing ( or
spamming). Please feel free to correct my grammer as you see fit, and
you can smarten me up at your leisure.

ps. I have left out your place of employment on purpose, as I do not
wish to cause you personal harm, or your employer. My sole purpose is to
direct you to the proper groups to post, ahhhh  but that you already
know, don't you.

regards beergut
