So I guess if Earl had said "I ran across this torrid winding machine that might be of interest to Elecrafters", and had made no mention of spam, it would have been okay? Or perhaps he could have inserted a link to the appropriate site. We get links to supposedly reputable profit oriented organizations on the reflector all the time: could any of these be possible spam? Hummmmm?
I found the torid winding machine interesting BUT I didn't buy one! ;>) Doug W6JD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 8:30 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Fw: Need winding machine? > Well, it seems that Earl has chosen to demonstrate his ignorance of accepted Internet protocol by not only spamming (itself a felony crime in the US), but by forwarding private correspondence to a public forum. I have been careful to respond to communications regarding this subject only via email and not the reflector, but if Earl wants a public discussion of the inappropriateness of his activity, so be it. > > > The spam you sent was not informational, it was commercial. More useful information is easily had by doing a simple Google search, as someone already pointed out. There's no difference between you putting "it may interest some of you" on the front of a spam and the millions of spams sent out daily which start with "Hey, I thought you might like this..." or something similar. > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
