I have no financial interest in *any* of the stuff that I post about,
and I suspect neither do you.

>I've never seen his posts as spam...

Then you haven't been to aus.dvd. Twice weekly he pollutes the group
with stuff like ...

NEWS: See what I'm flogging today
COMM: See how much I'm flogging it for

>Sometimes a bit of self-interest maybe, but not out of line, IMO.

Would you say that it is OK to use the newsgroups as your own personal
advertising space? If so, would it be OK for *every* backyard operator
to follow SalesMart's "business model"?
