Mountain Boarding DVD
Hi,
For the record, next time prefix your subject with OT or SPAM. That might help reduce the attacks. Thanks, I will do that if I need to in the future. The reason I didn't post in a market place NG was mainly because they are full of pure 'dodgy' spam and I assumed nobody read those NG's for that reason. I'm sorry that I may have offended some here. But its out in the open now :-) BTW, what's up with that MI5 crap? I don't get it. He's been around for a number of years. I'm amazed he is still going. Thats one committed guy! ;-) Simon -- http://www.five-elementproductions.co.uk Extreme Sports and Documentary DVD's! Big Air http://www.mbseurope.com |

I don't care about "what" you are selling ... just that yoyu are trying to sell it on a non-comercial site, Human or bot ... you are a douche. snip Thank you for your comments. Newsgroups are a great resource for spreading information. Your getting closer ... information is fine. But comercial spam? But while I appreciate your comments, I also know that there will be others in here who may actually take an interest, so I am afraid I will have to stick around in case anyone wishes to ask me any sensible questions or give useful feedback. Great know one said you weren't welcome to post. You just aren't welcome to post spam. R Think I found the perfect place for you DVD http://tinyurl.com/ncrte |

Hi, and a big Hi to you too. You sure have a lot of interests. James Bond, Hypnosis, Global Warming for example. Since newsgroups are 'such a great resource for spreading information' why have you not targetted those groups with today's spam. |

and a big Hi to you too. You sure have a lot of interests. James Bond, Hypnosis, Global Warming for example. Since newsgroups are 'such a great resource for spreading information' why have you not targetted those groups with today's spam. I don't believe we've met. Yes, I do have a lot of interests. I do tend to do more than just run a business, just as you seem to also have an interest in skiing, and if it is the same Dardruba, an interest in video too on DV Doctor. But since you ask why I posted here, the type of interest is the reason. Mountain Boarding is a minority sport and the outlets for getting the word out are limited. This is rather amusing though since the response to my posting has been more hostile than the aggressive spammers, and at the same time has drawn attention to something that you don't want attention drawn to. So its all good. Are you really that angry about all of this? I apologise if I have offended you and made you angry, but I am afraid that I cannot retract my original post.

Simon I think maybe if you'd been a long term member and posted a decent amount first, maybe introducing mountainboarding as an OT "ride report" style post at some point in the past people might have taken your "advert" a little more kindly - but essentially it looks like you've looked through a list of extreme sports NGs and posted to vaguely relevant ones knowing what you were doing wasnt going to be liked. No-one likes a newbie to come in and push something in your face when they know its going to annoy you. However - mountain boarding (I own one, but I use it with my kitesurfing kites) looks like a mental sport and good fun - i just cant pluck up the courage to try it on a non-flat surface and without wind power!
