From spam.abuse.net:

**There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on
Internet users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20
or more Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, 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.

Now there are a couple of not-so-bright people in here who think
because I own a part-time shortwave/ham business, that I am not allowed
to discuss any of MY products that are mentioned BY OTHERS in rrs.
Isn't that ridiculous? After all, who would know more about those
products than the person who mfg's them!

And to TRY and further their weak arguement, they cry "SPAM".

Sorry, guys. Ain't gonna work. And to prove it, I invite ANY of you
guys and gals that are so obessively-compulsed with me, my
TinyTenna...or my not-so-TinyTenna....to contact Google Absue, and send
them examples of my so-called "spamming". I'm sure Google.com will be
objective enough in there decisions.....

Until such time, I will continue to participate and talk about ANY
product ANYBODY in rrs talks about. (Self appointed usenet police or
not....)

I are.....
