Oh. Well, how 'bout your usenet spam and million-dollar beseechments? Are
those going to stop?

Dear Daniel
The short answer is Hell - NO!
One beaut thing about your spam allegation is that I only fosted a few
articles about this topic, admittadly I cross posted some, (no the LED
Accelerator, this is another topic not related thereto, this topic is about
the price of LED's, which others cross-posted) and a lot of interest
developed because (almost) everybody else decided to have a go at me and
posted their comments. Thus my little molehill grew into a mountain. If you
were truely concerned about spam/cross-posting et al, you would have
ignored it and it would have gone away. That you chose not to ignore it you
trapped yourself - fell for it, hook, line and sinker. You are, therefore,
the author of your own demise. That I have been polite enough to answer
your posts (yours are not so bad because you don't hide behind anonymity)
and questions is why this topic has grown like a bad rash. Exactly the
result I expected. Who can critisize my inet marketing? it has been a
phenominal success largley due to your's and others continuing involvement
- I thank you, thank you, thank YOU.
On my Linux box is a HOWTO on NG posts, it says that professional and
commercial advetorial content while frowned upon, is largely OK provided
that restraint is exercised. Perhaps you feel that I have not exercised
restraint, arguments thereto are academic as everyone has differing
opinions (some less different than others). As for my opinion. I thought it
a newsworthy idea, and after all, only my thoughts count (to me). ;-)
Waiting for berating...
