Re: Plain English Programming

Please be serious, does any UseNet newbie who puts his new idea on UseNet
A little research would show that this is not the category of poster we
are dealing with.

I bought the product.

The deceptive post was made to many newsgroups, with different wording
in each, and from a gmail account to conceal the poster's identity.
Furthermore, the design intent of the site was to scam $100. If that's
not "actual" spam, then I don't know what is. It's certainly not the
error of an overenthusiastic "newbie", it's an orchestrated strategy
and "President and Founder" Gerry was certainly in on it.

I bought the product using PayPal, and its a minor work of genius. No Scam !

An honest announcement would have included the following:
* Text phrased and titled appropriately to an announcement, and
attributed to the company
* An indication of the poster's true identity (not the coder posing as
a happy customer)
* If not a free evaluation, or better still, source code, then detailed
information about what you get for your money.

Yes I do agree here. A proper announcement would have been the correct thing
to do.

get this non constructive feedback that for all intensive functional
purposes is no better than the actual spam we so hate.

"Non constructive" feedback will continue as long as the problem
persists. "Actual" spam provokes "actual" complaints. Who knew?

I still would not classify the postings as SPAM.

Just bad advertisments from a UseNet newbie.
