(Found while surfing) Interesting, cheap source of parts,

I stumbled upon this site quite by accident.

(And no, I don't work for them, so if you are dumb enough
to report me for SPAMMING, then the joke is on you) ;->

Their prices are unbelievably cheap. Haven't purchased any yet so it remains
to be seen how their service stacks up.

In any case this is not spam. Putting ads in NG's is ok according to most
charters..."...provided restraint is exercised"

Ppl confuse spam with ad posts, and yes, the joke is on them. LOL.

Something about the web site gives me a bad feeling.
Something about conterfeit inferior imported parts seems to pop into my
head.
It may be an unwarranted bad feeling, but having been burned by those
inferior parts more than once, I am ever suspicious of unreal low prices
from a vendor I do not know.

Get a clue.

"Found while surfing" does tend to indicate it is an ad.

The fact that the guy posted to
sci.electronics
sci.electronics.misc
sci.electronics.repair
further suggests he is pushing the site, since the first became
a bogus newsgroup when it was split into the various subgroups
we have today and have had since 1995. And while he puts in
the dead group, and the misc one, he doesn't bother with an obvious,
..components This too indicates a lack of familiarity with the hierarchy,
which only adds to the impression that he's here for self-promotion.
Other telltales would be a lack of posts to these newsgroups (I didn't
check extensively, but some skimming of the archive shows nothing),
and his over the top munging of his email address. Often, the ones
who spam the most are the ones who fear spam the most.

And before you go around giving permission for ads, you really ought
to pay attentiion.

None of the newsgroups in the sci.electronics.* hierarchy are
for ads. Read about it in Mark Zenier's guide to the hierarchy
at ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/m/mzenier/seguide9706.txt Mark was
one of the people, maybe the most significant one, behind the split
of the hierarchy back in '95.

The place for related ads is misc.industry.electronics.marketplace
and even then it isn't a catchall forsale newsgroup.

Also of interest, as I mentioned just last week when someone similarly
felt ads were allowed, would be rec.radio.swap And of course,
there are always local and regional buy and sell newsgroups.

If the guy's not connected to the site, he hasn't proved it yet.
And until he proves he has more interest in the newsgroups
than to promote the site, I will not take it for a helpful
pointer but as an ad.

Looks like they both the first spammer and the alleged person who
responded, spammed, that it was not spam only spammed the groups three
times so far, per Google Groups. Seems like both Peter Lowrie and
Johnny are the same people.

information.
I was amused to see the posting on several newgroup servers three
times with different time stamps by both people however.....

I agree 100%. When the newsgroups were chartered, any advertising on
the net was against regulations, because the net was funded by the
govt, and it was to remain strictly non-commercial. Of course that's
all changed, but that doesn't mean that it's acceptable to spam
newsgroups with ads. There are other ngs that are for advertising,
and sci.electronics.* ngs are not.

Sorry can't concur. If you want an ad/spam/crosspost free NG, then use
moderated ones.

He who is without sin, cast the first stone. As it happens I feel that the
original post was made by a kind soul who thought the info would be useful.
As it also happens, I found the same site recently and found it to be
excellent - minus the dodgy english.

So take it any way you like but take your holier than thou attitude and
shove it where it belongs...Wattson-a-name: you are not immune to
crossposting and asking questions that could be answered by more rigorous
research prior to bombarding NG's. Furthermore I have personally answered
your queries in times past with helpful information, I refer you to your
blatant crosspost referencing the 2N2222 transistor as a recent example.

The Charter I read (paraphrased) says it's ok to post professional and
commercial adverts provided that RESTRAINT is exercised.

When I read angry posts by precious self appointed NG Police I have to laugh
because more often than not they are mistaken, speak only for themselves -
and - when a blatant ad is posted, they (NG Police), up in arms, post,
flame and scald which generates even more interest in the originating post
than would otherwise have been the case had they ignored it.

And until he proves he has more interest in the newsgroups
than to promote the site, I will not take it for a helpful

Before you go running-off at the keyboard, why not check the headers of the
(offensive to you) poster and compare it to the IP# of the site they are so
enthusiatically informing you of, in order that YOU are not made to look
like a plonking idiot. In this case you're talking about a Canadian poster
talking about a Philipeno site...Connected, yeah right.

Now, whatsaname, I can see from your various (cross)posts that you are an
erudite, enthusiastic electronics person who, if you are in the market for
components, would find the quoted site very useful indeed...Like I did.

BTW, try saying something nice and do your part to raise the tone of the
entire group.
