No one person maybe: but the members of the group as a whole agreed the

THIS group (and most other sewing newsgroups) have a NO ADVERTISING
policy, and the members enforce it strictly. This is why WE, the
members of this and other sewing newsgroups, created a special place for
ads. If you want the ads, go look for them in the marketplace group -
that's what it's for!

Fair enough. I still don't agree with dobbing people in to their ISP,
but we can agree to disagree on that one.

They'll just have to learn to live with the results of their stupidity.

Or the results of their helpfulness - depending on how you look at it.
: )

Now, I'm bored with all this: you obviously don't want to understand
that WE THE GROUP AS A WHOLE don't want and will not tolerate spam,
advertising, trolls, and other abuses of the group charter WE created to
protect US.

But I do understand. Kate, I'll say it again - I think the no ads is
a GOOD policy. But I *don't* think that going behind someone's back
to their ISP is the right way to teach it.
