Free Weight Loss/Workout Buddy Matching Service

Fredda Weinberg burbled across the ether:


SNIP CANNED ADVERTISING

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.

Do you not read for comprehension? I did not accuse you personally of
twisty logic. It's the principle of the thing. Apparently marketing
damages your brain.

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.

Right. "Passing yourself off" as a human being who doesn't have a
marketing agenda. Right.

I
*am* participating - and the members of WLB who are finding what
they seek are grateful.

I don't see any newsgroup by the name of WLB. You are not participating
in the newsgroups you are spamming. Advertising at people is *not*
participating in the community.

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!

You're paid to develop software yet you spend your time spamming
newsgroups about this website. Right.

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

Apologies don't mean much unless you stop doing the offensive behavior.

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.

I don't give a damn about your hosting company's rules (which of
*course* are going to define spam as something they don't do, even while
they do it).

ASDLC's charter prohibits advertising of any kind. Period. You are
breaking our rules which I consider much more important. So **** off.

Hark! I heard "Fredda Weinberg" say:

Then knock it the hell off! Or at the very least, preface your
advertising with an indicator such as [AD] so we can filter you
out. For now, I'll just settle for killfiling anything with the
words "workout buddy" in the subject header...

I bet you that now she'll change the header! Tip: don't announce how you
will kill-file a spammer or a troll! Just do it and let them wonder why
almost no one (only the loonies) answers them.

That said, I personally apologize to anyone who finds my activities
distateful, but I ask you to please recognize that there's a legitimate need
WLB's search feature can fill, so I will continue.

Translation: I think my ads are on topic so even though you guys tell
me point-blank that you don't want me thrusting them into the midst of
your conversation, I'm going to do it anyway.

That's rude, incredibly rude.

Not to mention that ****ing off your potential customers is not
generally considered the goal of marketing - so it's stupid too.

So you're rude and stupid. And since your post is spam, *you* are a
spammer.

In summary, you are a rude, stupid spammer. One of the lowest
possible life forms. I've met nicer viruses than you.

Spammers and telemarketers are other people you don't have to be nice

you by disrespecting your rights, they've made it clear they don't
deserve "nice". Kick 'em in the gonads! Have *fun* with it.

Well, OK. But I'm still not swapping spit in the shower with you.
