I am not a spammer you twit just trying to get shut of / recycle /
offer a bargain of some vintage electronic components, This is a
public domain NG not the Central Florida private bulletien board.


YOU are an ignorant jackass who refuses to post ads on the proper
newsgroup. THAT makes you an ignorant Spammer.


So there's this great welcoming sign in sci.electronics.components


What did you expect? A key to the city, and to be allowed to nail
your posters to the front door of everyone's home?


The parallel just doesn't add up, there is no key and one would hope
subscribers are bright enough to either read or disregard the notice,
click or ignore the link.

But you forget that some of us have been around here for a long time,
and we've seen all the junk posts over the years.

Realistically, it's too late to stop you from posting your initial ad.

But unless someone speaks up when it happens, then your ad is an invitation
for others to post their ads. And then the newsgroup dies as it gets
burdened with people posting their ads, all claiming "well one little
add that's not commercial can't help".

Too many come to the newsgroups for their own individual reasons, rather
than seeing ias a collective mass. Hence "how can my one little
non-commercial ad hurt" in itself won't, but when it all ads up it
hurts a lot.

When you got access to the newsgroups, you should have been warned to
read the newsgroup for a while before posting. Then you'd see people
pointing out that ads don't belong. You should have been subscribed
to the newsgroups where the introductions to newsgroups get posted,
so you'd learn something about the place.

But of course not, now it's really easy to post, so too many posting
come to post only ads, or bring their own old habits to the newsgroups
not realizing or caring about the long existing space they are invading.
