I'm trying to think of any reasonable criteria by which you shouldn't be immediately dispelled from the list for spamming (which you have in fact done), and can't. I've a mind to file a report with your ISP for violation of their TOS/AUP. Sorry if this seems harsh, but spam in any form cannot be tolerated." ========== I included a caveat with my post, so yes, that seems excessively harsh, but please do go ahead and file your report with my ISP. Maybe they'll cut down on the amount of spam they forward to me.
Although I do not embrace spamming activities, keep in mind that many spammers are legitimate businesses that find the Internet a convenient method of advertising their wares. Because many Elecrafters have a fondness(?) and a close association with toroid winding, I see nothing wrong with passing the information along to the group. If you don't like it, just bite your tongue and use the delete key.
