Fellow Amateur Radio Operators,

I have created a new list that deals specifically with legal issues pertaining
to our hobby, the Amateur Radio Legal Issues List. The list is for the
dissemination and discussion of legal issues (such as PRB-1 and pending
legislation in Congress) and other related issues (court battles, etc.) that
can affect our hobby.

If you are interested in such a list, please send a blank email to
.

73's,
Paul Gray, N0JAA
Moderator, Amateur Radio Legal Issues List

I have created a new list that deals specifically with legal issues
pertaining
to our hobby

How about one dealing with SPAMMING? I think one post, on rec.radio.amateur
would have been sufficient.

However, I wouldn't have seen that post, since I don't subscribe to
every single radio group.

Oh, I see. If someone has anything remotely amateur radio related, they should
post it on every amateur radio newsgroup so everyone sees it? That's just
silly. rec.radio.amateur is for general amateur radio related issues. The mere
fact that I'm replying to this (and that I replied to the original post) makes
me just as guilty as the original spammer.

As far as I am concerned, this gentleman's posting could (should?) have been
posted in each and every user group that relates in any fashion to ham
radio.

Cross posting and off topic posting is a violation of many an ISP's TOS.

The fact is that every post has it's place. If that were not the case, we'd
eliminate every amateur radio newsgroup except for rec.radio.amateur.

No, it was *NOT* crossposted, and it *should* have been.
Instead the message was multiposted to at least 5 newsgroups
individually.

*Multiposting* is *never* appropriate. Crossposting _to_
_appropriate_ newsgroups is _always_ appropriate.

Some posts have many places, and that is why crossposting is a
facility available on Usenet. And while abuse is relatively
common, that particular instance would have been perhaps
reasonable *if* it had been crossposted instead of multiposted.

And while we discuss Usenet protocols, your signature is

1) too long
2) lacks the appropriate delimiter line, "-- ", between
it and the text of your message.

It seems reasonable that if you are going to rant about the
way someone else posts, you might want to be a little more
correct yourself. :-)
