FS posts are okay.....

Here is a direct quote from ISC.org (the organization that Gary Burnore
quoted), concerning advertising (or "for sale") postings in NG's:

"How to advertise on Usenet
--------------------------

There *are* acceptable ways to advertise in Usenet newsgroups.

1. The on-topic notice

If you have a product or a message that is specifically related to a
particular Usenet newsgroup, and you want to let people know about it,
it's *usually* all right to post *one* notice about it.

Note the word "notice." A notice is a brief mention of the product with
information about how interested persons can find out more. It's not a
sales pitch. It's not an advertisement. It's not a "BUY BUY BUY" sort of
message. It's a notice.

You are encouraged to make such postings one-time-only. When your polite
informational notice starts getting posted every week, people are going to
start getting irked at you.

You are also *strongly* encouraged to keep such postings hype-free. What
often works very well is to post information about your services or
product and include a contact address, World Wide Web site, or phone
number for people to use to get more information. "

Further:

"One way to tell if a post is appropriate is to look at a newsgroup's
charter. The charter is the formal declaration of what is on topic and
what is not, and was generated at the time the group was created if the
group was created in the so-called Big 7 hierarchies of comp.*, soc.*,
rec.*, talk.*, misc.*, news.*, sci.*, and humanities.*. Some other groups
have charters as well, but not all -- and if they do, they're often one or
two lines in length. Where can you find a charter? Well, in some cases
the charter is regularly posted to the newsgroup or is contained in the
newsgroup's Frequently Asked Questions files. In other cases, the charter
has been all but forgotten. Charters can occasionally be difficult to
locate, so you may have to use your best judgment and/or ask someone who's
been reading the group for a while if a particular message would be
appropriate. "

That last sentence kind of irks you, doesn't it Burnore?

So, Gary, guess you made a big deal out of nothing, huh? Or, are you ready
to quote the NG charter for tx.moto where it says that FS posts are
prohibited.

For someone who "runs a USENet server", you're an embarrassment to your
"profession".

 

Using something written for alt groups in a regional is rather funny,
little iggy. Basically, it's up to the NSP to decide. If someone
sends a complate about an off-placed forsale post, the NSP can nuke
the account. Guess it depends on how much he trusts his NSP.

LOL....so you've just shown your reading comprehension is lacking. Care to
take another crack at it?

You actually "think" that his NSP is going to "nuke" his account for placing
a FS post in a NG....1 FS post does not make it spam, which is what they are
most concerned with. Sorry, but you are wrong.

You've just had your ass handed to you...again...using your own source.

 

BTW, "Iggy", David tells me that he did NOT give you permission to use
his domain name in your from line. That means you're forging a valid
domain name in violation of Comcast and Road Runner Terms of Service.
If you're smart, you'll stop. Bet you're not smart.

What? It's a play on "kissmyass", you idiot. Go ahead and rat me out, see
if I care. Their response, like I've mentioned before, will probably be:

"Bwahahahahahaha"

Give me David's email address and I'll be happy to explain it to him. He'll
probalby end up laughing in the same manner.....at you.

Later, NetKop.

BTW, Your sig is still broken....lol

It must suck for you that you look like a jackass =wherever= you go.

Why would anyone get news/email from a company that you're associated with?
