Didn't you test the product thoroughly before you put it on the

lol. Good call. So he's a spammer...look like a good product
though.

What was the spam?

He is pimping a product made buy his company that he claims he first
saw in an Ace hardware store...

Well maybe so if it appeared in your private email inbox as UCE
(unsolicited commercial email) but not as a single post in a public
news group where at best it could be considered "off topic." Just for
the record I hate spam passionately but it's also a pet peeve of mine
when people mislabel posts as spam.

Sorry - the strict definition is as you said. I was using it in a way
I have seen it used many times also - an unsolicited commercial post
in a newsgroup not dedicated to that purpose.

I will even go so far as to say his post was not very far off topic,
There may be people looking for something just like that - but he
should be upfront about it - if it's not a spam tactic why resort
to deceit?

It certainly was trickery and dishonest to post it the way it was posted.
But it did appear to be hand posted and not spewn from some automated
process and wildly cross posted to a ton of news groups. That is more my
idea of a spammer.

Anyway - dead horse.

Wanted to comment on the last few postings, this was a test as to what
kind of activity I could get from a group like this. Very interesting
range of comments. Everything that was in my posting is parphrases
from customers. I would like to pose a question to the group. Does
this forum help you in finding solutions to your problems, wether it
be a product or a service? If so how much trust does this forum have
with one anothers advise? If you notice there is advertising on the
margins of your forum and I am tring to determine what the
effectiveness of the forum has for advertising products.

Thanks
