I just got a batch of these in and before I clean them up for eBay I thought
I would offer them here. Unit will be guaranteed to pass self test on
arrival, tape drive may or may not work, but with the RS232 option the tape
is fairly useless anyhow. Displays are decent, no missing or jammed keys,
cases are discolored.
Shipping is $15 if your zip is under 49999 - $20 if it is 50000 or above.
Figure $85 each if you buy 2 at a time; add 50% to the shipping price for a
pair.
Email for a list of available pods as well.

Hey, asshole,

Out of your last 26 posts to alt.electronics and all of the other
groups you SPAM, 26 have been SPAM. Not even _one_ on-topic post or
help of any kind, just goddam SPAM. Knock it off or I'm going to
start sending copies of _all_ your shit to your ISP.

Your mother must be so proud of you - dirty mouth and nothing better to do
with your time than count posts on newsgroups.
As for spam every post I make is directly related to the topic of the group
or to equipment used to pursue the interests of the group - it would be
pointless to post to unrelated groups. Seems like others must find my posts
of value, since the response to them is almost immediate and via PayPal,
rather than sniveling notes like yours.

Yeah, my mom would be. I'm trying to make things better by running
trash like you back to where you belong, the "for sale" newsgroups,
and away from the technical groups, where you have no business
posting your unwanted garbage and trying to dump your junk.

It's typical of people like you, who don't give a damn about whether
their crap is wanted on a newsgroup or not who are creating the SPAM
problem and are always so vitriolic when they're called on it.

Oh, and by the way, it's not the web, its usenet, and it's "SIEG

Here's an idea, John, how about taking your netcop duties offline into
email instead of propagating yet another damn flamewar and wasting
usenet bandwidth. The only thing you're running off here is your mouth.
While I'm not at all defending Art, at least he's offering something
mildly on-topic, unlike the problematic spammers offering African
securities stock Viagra get rich pyramid nude herbal phishes.

Professional my ass,

It seems to me, John, that these posts serve the purpose of providing
people with the option of purchasing needed components for their
technical projects. Art's posts are short and to the point, they do not
qualify as SPAM. Posted in appropriate groups. No flashy BS, no
glamorous language to try to entice people into getting what they
neither want nor need. And no one complaining about the posts in a
professional manner or an official capacity.

The purpose of the newsgroup is (hopefully) positive interaction.
Varied posts ensures that varied people are interested. That can draw
more people to a community. It's quite possible that in the future,
someone who helps me out with a video issue was drawn to the newsgroup I
use by Art's posts. I can't possibly imagine anyone helpful drawn to a
newsgroup by your response to his posts.

And as to vitriol, I wouldn't expect anything else from the way you
started your post to him.

The electronics newsgroups were chartered for the purpose of
discussion of matters electronic, not as a medium to advertise the
sale of goods. There are newsgroups chartered especially for that
purpose, and that is where Mallet's stuff belongs. Or on ebay, but
certainly not on sci.electronics.* or alt.electronics, and when he
posts there, knowing full well that he's doing so in violation of
the groups' charters, then that's SPAM.

I disagree. If people need to purchase components or test equipment
for their projects and can't find them, then the usual thing in that
circumstance is for them to ask for help. All Mallet is doing is
targeting a bunch of newsgroups which he considers to be likely
sources of customers for his stuff, and posting SPAM to try to get
rid of it, whether the denizens of the various groups need it or
not.

If they were only posted in appropriate groups, like
misc.industry.electronics.marketplace, I'd agree, but they're not
only posted there, they're posted to other groups where they're
clearly inappropriate, regardless of their brevity. Short SPAM is
still SPAM.

The fact that _I'm_ complaining means that he's affected my day in a
less than positive way, and he needs to hear about it, the way any
SPAMmer does.

Had I started off extremely politely, the eventual end would have
been the same, with the discussion degenerating into name-calling
and negativity and Mallet adamantly denying his SPAM was SPAM.

All I did was shorten the interval between the polite beginning and
the rude end.

I'm just being argumentative, this is what I find for the charters:

alt.electronics (proposed)

Charter: To further the spread of electronics knowledge and provide a
forum where beginners may ask questions and acquire information not
otherwise readily available in the local community.

http://tinyurl.com/bthwh

and the charter for sci.electronics.design is:

"Discussions relevant to the design of electronics circuits."

http://tinyurl.com/8t55r

Granted, there may be (and are) better places for FS posts relating to
electronic equipment, but I don't see that it is prohibited in either AE
or SED.

You're right, and to me it isn't so much a question of prohibition
as it is a question of appropriateness. It's like if I were sitting
at somebody's kitchen table having a good time talking with my
friends and then, all of a sudden, in walks this guy that nobody's
ever seen before with a suitcase full of stuff that he shoves in
front of our faces and starts asking us if we want to buy it.

Clearly he's not interested in the conversation or anything about
the group except can he get them to part with some money.

I find that distasteful and just plain wrong.
