Hello fellow developers!

Hello spammer. Please cease your multi-posted
ramblings on your software. c.l.j.announce is most
appropriate for your message.

Y'know, I caught a lot of grief for treating this guy as a spammer.

I appreciate your untiring efforts to rid the c.l.j.* groups of
spam and spammers, or at least to refute their idiocy and
"fight the (never-ending) tide". I vaguely recall intending to
tear strips off this latest moron, but something (most probably
your own comments) made me move on to other matters.

..I apologized for my behavior.

I make no apologies, and intend to make none.

If this latest spammer can justify their actions, I
will leave them be, but no more - should they be
so sensitive they cannot handle and deflect a little
critical evaluation of their efforts, then perhaps this
is not the forum(s) for them.

..Now the guy is repeating the exact same
announcement after just a few days. In my opinion he is exploiting this
group. ..

Right there with you.

..Instead of engaging in a discussion with us about his project, he got
very aggrieved at my tone, as did some others on this group - OK, I understand
that. But I truly wish this guy would discuss things here in this discussion
group instead of using it as an advertising venue.

Consider that a challenge, spammer. Time to discuss
your promotional strategy.

I don't care how good the project is, I do not appreciate the misuse of this
group.

Nor do I (care/appreciate).
