As the owner and administrator of this forum, I have a responsibility to the readers and also the posters. I will not tolerate spam on this site. The paid banner ad is not considered spam since it is a paid ad that helps defer the cost of running this site. Any non-paid ads will be deleted. Any ads linking away from this site will be deleted. If the information is important, copy and paste it here, but only once.
What is spam?
Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.
…..Usenet users have found that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant to most or all of them. Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their systems.
