Who made you usenet police?
I posted a link to an article on a leading mining news and analysis
website.
How could this possibly be spam?

Just trying to spread a little happiness, unlike yourself.

Nope, it was spam. Therefore you get reported to your web hosting
company.

Anything with a subject line like yours must be regarded as spam
unless proven otherwise.

You asked for it...


Electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam
even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. However, if a long-lost
brother finds your e-mail address and sends you a message, this could hardly
be called spam, even though it's unsolicited. Real spam is generally e-mail
advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup.

In addition to wasting people's time with unwanted e-mail, spam also eats up
a lot of network bandwidth. Consequently, there are many organizations, as
well as individuals, who have taken it upon themselves to fight spam with a
variety of techniques. But because the Internet is public, there is really
little that can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent
junk mail. However, some online services have instituted policies to prevent
spammers from spamming their subscribers.

There is some debate about the source of the term, but the generally
accepted version is that it comes from the Monty Python song, "Spam spam
spam spam, spam spam spam spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam." Like the song,
spam is an endless repetition of worthless text. Another school of thought
maintains that it comes from the computer group lab at the University of
Southern California who gave it the name because it has many of the same
characteristics as the lunchmeat Spam:

Nobody wants it or ever asks for it.
No one ever eats it; it is the first item to be pushed to the side when
eating the entree.
Sometimes it is actually tasty, like 1% of junk mail that is really useful
to some people.

I've noticed spammers doing the same on other occasions which will
screw things up if Google ever decide to make use of these ratings.

I've tried to redress the balance a little :-)

You've lost out on the facilities offered by a decent newsreader, and
you are supporting a service which resolutely refuses to do anything
about the amount of spam being spewed into usenet via its system. As a
result many people (me included) now just killfile anything originating
from googlegroups.

Since I saw the post above I deduce it =wasn't= posted via googlegroups,
so presumably you are only a part-time loser ..

Google may be your friend, but groups.google.com posters definitely aren't.

Anyway!

If anyone acted on my so called spam, well done! You have made 7.23%
today.
More than you'll make in a year in your bank account or building
society.



I still don't think a link to a legitimate website is spam.
