Google apparently doesn't care what you post. They say that they don't
regulate content. What else is there?

As for your objection, Why is an offer to sell a cookbook out of place here?

Oh? Define spam. Hint: it is /not/ "a message I don't like."

Spam is an unsolicited message sent as one of a set of messages that are
substantially the same.

Advertising is unsolicited in most groups. The OP posts a large volume
of book advertisements. The curry ad was not posted elsewhere, but the
picnic ad was.

In the groups I run we have solved the spam problem by soliciting
advertisements (except of course from Mrs. Bonk's notorious boyfriend).

Respectfully, Marcy, I disagree. Spam is /both/ unsolicited and sent in
large volume. Being unsolicited isn't enough: the start of every thread
is unsolicited. Volume alone isn't enough: newsletters are sent out to
thousands of recipients.

I don't see that commercial recommendations by their very being are
spam. When I put the finishing touches on my combination
burn-salve/apron-waterproofer/shoe-polish/cast-iron-seasoner, I intend
that the denizens of this august group will be the first to know, and I
will offer it for sale at cost plus a modest increment commensurate with
my genius. No one could denigrate such a marvelous offering as "spam".

Every single *one* of your posts I've ever run across can be technically
considered "spam" - that's because you are advertising your sheer
*stupidity*...but (fortunately) no one is "buying".

Want to bet <g>?

The way I see it, spam is unsolicited *and* commercial. The volume has
nothing to do with it although almost all spam is of course sent in large
volume.

Yep...you are spot - on...and besides which there is the newsgroup
rec.food.marketplace on which to post sale offerings...

If I'm in the market for a product or service I AIN'T gonna go to a
newsgroup (except if it's a .forsale or .marketplace group). Dumbie MOOSH
brains like Avins up there I guess just don't get this basic concept...

Gregory, you should be ashamed of yourself talking like that to a valued
member of this group (a.c-c) such as Jerry.
On this occasion I sadly have to agree with Marcia and yourself that the OP
is posting to newsgroups on a regular basis with "targeted spam". You would
be justified in reporting her and it would not be the first occasion she has
been reported.
If the OP were to hang around and indulge in some conversation or become a
regular poster to the group or acknowledge the fact she has caused dissent
then perhaps it would not be so bad but she doesn't. Her sole intention is
to make money out of us, she is not interested in the group or the
discussion that goes on here. I for one, have no wish to spend my hard
earned money downloading messages from a spammer.
Having said all this I feel there is no need for the rudeness displayed by
you. I do hope you will see fit to apologise to Jerry and make amends.

I've subscribed to groups where somebody would post a lot of messages
attacking the Theory of Evolution. They weren't commercial, but they
were unsolicited and substantially the same, clogging the group with the
repetition of his opinion. That's against the rules of most ISPs. It's
spam by Marcey's definition.

Have you been drinking Gregory? I don't recall you are normally abusive and
vulgar.
If it's your intention to become a troll then you really should be looking
to Marcia, she does the job splendidly and is never coarse.
Please remember, a good troll is worth it's weight in gold.

It may count for them but not for me. If I get spam it is just as annoying
regardless of whether 1000000 copies were sent out or if mine was the only
one. An ISP is of course concerned with large volume of messages. But it is,
I think, a mistake to look for one precise and correct definition of spam.
It's like a supreme court judge said about pornography, I can't define it
but I know it when I see it.

No. Why do you consider my post "abusive and vulgar"? Is it that you have
no sense of humour perhaps...???
