Me, I don't mind an ad sent to a particular single relevant group - although I can see why it might upset others. To me it only becomes spam when it is sent to dozens of groups of questionable relevance.

The ones that really get up my nose are the "I found this website and it is really good" - sent by the site or someone working for it.

Which is just what the OP did. I could accept a regular poster, unconnected with the company, had posting it or if the OP had been completely honest about it being his site.

.I much appreciate those present with the understanding and the willingness to nail these individuals..


Preferably to some inamimate object. I once suggested that spammers should be nailed to trees but this offended other posters who didn't think innocent trees deserved to have spammers nailed to them. After a few atto seconds of thought, I concurred.
