NEWSGROUP "SPAM" - No Such Thing. Newsgroups are public.

What is "SPAM"? Unsolicited messages? Then everyone that
post to a newsgroups is "spamming" unless they are responding
to a direct question.

What is Off Topic? Anything that isn't relevant to the
group description? Then 99% of newsgroup posters are
spammers. You've never posted an off topic comment?
You can't lie. It's archived in Google.

Links to websites are spam? Then what are those links
in your signature? OH....it's ok to "SPAM" a little bit.
As a matter of fact its ok to "SPAM" a lot because you
include those links in your signature everytime you
post.

If you want a MODERATED group. Shut the hell up and go
join one or create one yourself.

NEWSGROUPS ARE PUBLIC.

No. You have fallen victim to AOL, M$ and other commercial

email. Wrong

What is "SPAM"?

"SPAM" is a registered trademark referring to a canned spiced-ham meat
product made by Hormel. The company is agressive in protecting this
trademark.

On the other hand, "spam" is any message with a Breidbart Index greater
than 20 over a 45-day period. The definition of the Breidbart Index,
complete with the associated mathematical formula, can be found on many
websites.

NEWSGROUPS ARE PUBLIC.

No, they are not. Newsgroups are the private property of the system
administrators who run the servers upon which they reside; everyone else
is allowed to use newsgroups solely at the sufferance of the system
administrators. They are no more public than a shopping mall is public.

What does this have to do with freeware?

You're ignoring a very important point. Spam is commercial. This news group
is not. It's partly the commercial aspect that raises so much ire about
spam. Other off-topic posts that are non commercial are usually tolerated.

is like giving medicine to the dead. - Thomas Paine

The line that appears in "The Age of Reason" is "To argue with a person
who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to
the dead." But, yes, that's the proper attitude for dealing with
trolls...
