I'm part of the development team of http://www.weightlossbuddy.com and we've
recently added hundreds of new members to our community. If you've visited
before, it's definitely worth a another look.

The ZIP search feature helps supportive people find each other discretely -
you choose how much information you care to share.

We have live greeters to welcome you. Come meet our fitness experts, sign up
for our motivational newsetters by personal
coach Wendy Hearn and discover the support of the Weight Loss Buddy
community. I'll meet you there!

And please allow me to briefly address my critic:

It's that slippery slope thing. Let one advertiser do it because it's
'relevant' and before long the group is swamped because *anything* can
be made relevant with enough twisty logic.

There's nothing twisted about letting people who are interested in losing
weight know about a free service to find local workout partners.

Try joining a group and participating as a member. Keep the link to your
business in your sig.

I'm not presenting myself as anything else than I am. I always had the
option of passing myself off, but I consider that dishonest. I *am*
participating - and the members of WLB who are finding what they seek are
grateful.

By the way, it's not my business. I'm paid to develop software - I'm
working on the recipe swap tonight - but I convinced the powers that be to
open the site to the public while the rest of the company organizes. The
response has convinced management that the buddy search portion of the site
will remain free of charge - Thank You!

That said, again, I personally apologize to anyone who finds my period
notices distateful.

I will continue reporting you to your ISP.

As I've noted before, our hosting company has strict rules about spam, but
period notices in targeted newsgroups doesn't fit that qualification.
