Finally wrote-up my "How to Design Parts" section...

Who is ranting? I'm just trying to help you out. Would hate to see you lose
your posting privileges because of your spamming. alt.machines.cnc and
maybe comp.cad.solidworks would collapse into steaming piles of shit
without the services of your incessant, yet mindless, cross posting.



Spam Thresholds FAQ
http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/faqs/spam.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[...]

Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP) has the same meaning as the term "spam"
usually carries, but it is more accurate and self-explanatory. EMP
means, essentially, "too many separate copies of a substantively
identical article."

"Substantively identical" means that the material in each article is
sufficiently similar to construe the same message. The signature is
included in the determination. These are examples of substantively
identical articles:
* byte-for-byte identical messages
* otherwise identical postings minimally customized for each group
it appears in.
* advertising the same service.
* articles that consist solely of the same signature
* articles which consist of inclusions of other user's postings, but
are otherwise identical.

[...]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A quick count produces four substantively identical articles cross
posted by you in this thread alone, all within a matter of minutes. If
I had the desire, I could easily document enough spam posted by you to
surpass a BI of 20 during a 45 day period, and that's more than enough
evidence of spamming for any sane news admin to nuke an account.

You seem confused.
This thread started out in AMC. SW was mentioned & some in SW had an
interest, a few of whom neglected to crosspost their comments & advice
back to AMC.
It is materail to both groups it seems <G>. And there was some sound
& sage advice (along with some not-so-sound, IMHO).

HAND

 

Only the neglected crosspost back to AMC was added.
I note that you & BD did not negkect to crosspost back to CCS <G>.

 

I have him in the bozo bin, so i never see his bullshit. Life is good...

That'd have to be a pretty BIG collection jar...

 

Actually, it's you who appears confused.

"neglected to crosspost"

Eh?

Are you out of your mind?

Has it ever occurred to you that some people aren't at all interested in
posting anywhere else but the newsgroup they're reading?

Your attempts to rationalize and justify your actions (attributing and
re-posting peoples articles without adding any original content of your
own (you've been doing it for a long time)) doesn't change the fact you're
spamming.

 

ROTFLMAO

 

Very rare and done for a specific purpose ..... when a crosspost got
left off, probably by someone's default settings. Or when the subject is
known to be of current interest ... <g>.

Kind of hard to expect a reply when the party being replied to is in
another NG, IMHO. And pointess to give on-topic advice where it cannot
be seen.

Rubbish.
What are you selling today?

BTW, When you decided to post Off Topic to this rather On-Topic thread,
(and On-Topic in both NGs) why did you not so note in the subject line?

Now, do YOU have anything on topic to add to the thead <G>?

 

Hence your reply ..

 

Followup set.

It's very unusual for you to run away from cross posts, what are you trying
to hide from Cliff? The Newsgroup line you snecked has been restored.

No, it's not very rare, it's something you've been doing fairly consistently
for a long time. And you're assuming things you shouldn't. You don't have
a clue (which is typical) as to why replies aren't cross posted. Perhaps
it is because of default newsreader settings and the poster didn't notice.
And again, to reiterate what you conveniently snipped away, perhaps it is
because people _aren't interested in cross posting_. Or maybe it's because
people, including yourself, have no idea what the purpose of the
"Followup-To:" header is, it may or may not help with news reader
issues.

Either way, again, you have no business attributing and re-posting other
peoples replies without adding any original content of your own. Doing
it as often as you do is SPAMMING. And I never seen anybody thanking you
for it. What I do see is more and more people smartening up and kill
filing you.

Generally speaking, clearly your "services" are unwanted, so why do you
keep it up? "Bait", and "fishing" are non-answers.

If you were truly interested in being helpful you would be well advised
to let posters know in public, or private, that it may be a good idea to
cross post their replies if it's relevant to the groups its posted in.
That leaves the decision of where people are posting in their own hands
instead of where you think they should be doing it.

It all boils down to choice Cliff, and you simply shouldn't be making
choices for anybody but yourself.

Which is why you snecked the Newsgroups line, eh?

My services to my employer. But only for a half day today, I'm starting
my weekend a bit early. Woohoo!

Your complaining about off topic posting when 75% of what you post per
month in alt.machines.cnc is cross posted polarized political nonsense?
LOL! Try growing a brain someday, will you?

 

Good point.

They were clearly attributed as well as properly quoted.
If I found $100 of yours in the road & gave it back to you you
would whine, right?

You do miss a lot of posts. And Emails.

And you are fishing here why?

As you well know thattakes time and many shown FROM fields

I take it that you are not following the discussion(s).

Nope. Trying for goats.

And usually marked "OT" for your benefit? LOL .... The brain dead
remain where you find them & AMC has been full of winger BS for as
long as I can recall ..... without any gripes from you AFAIK.

Your net abuse, that is your constant spamming, is most certainly related to
it.

You've posted 7 such articles in this thread alone. You've been doing
the same thing across a number of newsgroups for quite some time. It's
spam, plain and simple.

 

Added a crosspost back to the original thread in the original group of
material info (of which I've seen none from you yet) <G>.

 

Good to see you finally admit you're a spammer.

 

Try again <G>.
Bad week?
