This still sure seems like spam.Well, let's test:
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?filter=0&q=sci.electronics.equipment&enc_author=Qa48zQ4AAADzmTtYYtWQ1iBd18U5zqTH&scoring=d
Yup. All his submissions to this group are ads.
Applying the filter:
Is it the 1st post in the thread?
Yup.
Is is 100% commercial ad?
Yup.
Does the name of this group contain any of the magic words:
biz ads forsale marketplace ?
Nope. His submission fails the "legit post" test.

Maybe the way to stop this spamSpam to fight spam? Nope.
is to present a competitor's page every time you post this one.
You might flag your Subject line with the word SPAM in caps.
Legitimate businessmen know that advertising is a cost of business
--just like rent and electricity.
You might include THAT information in your post.
Those that don't know this, don't deserve your patronage.
Most spammers are low-lifes
who just leave their droppings and move on
They don't deserve access to the places they spam.
Toward that end, here's what YOU can do:
Make a report to his ISP:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=81.156.31.195
That's abuse @btcentralplus.com mailto:abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sometimes you get a no-nonsense ISP:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics.design/browse_frm/thread/7faedb5000ef8c1/417aed0748ddc641?q=zz-zz+This-customer's-account-has-now-been-terminated
Sometimes it takes a critical mass of complaints before the provider
acts.
(Therefore, the more people reporting him,
the sooner the spammer gets his just deserts.)
If he posts to Usenet from somewhere else,
file a report there as well:
groups-abuse @google.com mailto:groups-abuse@xxxxxxxxxx
When you make the reports, you might note his Usenet history:
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?filter=0&enc_author=Qa48zQ4AAADzmTtYYtWQ1iBd18U5zqTH&scoring=d
Filtered for spam which is not in spam-tolerant groups, that's:
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?filter=0&q=-marketplace+satori-technology&enc_author=Qa48zQ4AAADzmTtYYtWQ1iBd18U5zqTH&scoring=d
In your post, you might go pedantic on the OP
and explain why spam is inappropriate.
(I once had a spammer acknowledge his ignorance to me
and he gave up on spam after his 1st try.)

Caesar,
Re: your posting style: Top-posting in this group is not the norm.
(Applies to Usenet as a whole; trim and bottom-post.)

In addition, RE-POSTING the SPAM was not the best move.
