was
tracking this info. Kind of interesting though:

Spammer of the month award.

And if anyone thinks I'm joking - then (politely) ask Jay to drop his
SIG file advert from future posts and see what he says to that idea.

Jay I feel that YOU are spamming these aviation newsgroups with
your SIG file and your constant references to your website and
I am politely asking you to drop any reference to AlexisParkInn
from future postings.

If anyone else feels the same way then ask Jay the same question
and see for yourself what his response is.

Including Jay in a definition of spam is pretty broad. Spam is trying to
sell a scheme to make me rich, or leading me to a porno site, or filling the
newsgroup with those weird topics that kept popping up a month or so ago -
"Willingness of a thousand flying puppies" or whatever they were.

Of course, I like money and nudity, and I really like rich naked women, so
maybe I'm the wrong one to comment.

How about we all killfile this A**hole that keeps complaining, and go on
with life. There are others, like Patterson, who is including a sig line
about like Jay's, and I don't see anyone complaining about that!

The problem is that this A**hole keeps changing his alias.

Interesting, coming from an anonymous poster. Who stepped on your tail?

A signature attached to a posting is never a problem (the posting itself
above the signature should contain content) to a usenet posting AS LONG AS
there is a correct signature separator "-- " (dash dash space; on a single
line) AND the signature should not exceed 4 lines. This is common practise
on usenet.

One *might* discuss the "shameless plugs", but they are almost always
connected to aviation, so I see it not as a really big problem at all.

I might not be on the same line with Jay on the one or other viewpoint, but
I can't blame him for his signature (AFAIR he corrected the signature
separator)

greetings, martin

here is a link to a microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/
I can write my (political) opinion here, it is OK to be "off topic"
the sig should not exceed 4 lines and should only be max. 80 chars.
so here comes my last line ....................... have a good day.

Gee, before I owned an airplane, all my sig line said was "Iowa City, IA"
(Which is a damn-sight more than I can say about YOUR signature line.)

Then, in 1998, we added "Warrior N33431". When we sold that in 2002, and
bought Atlas, it became "Pathfinder N56993".

Then, when Mary and I debated (here, by the way, with many of you all) long
and hard about buying an old hotel, and converting it to an aviation theme,
fly-in destination, I added our new website to the signature. That was also
in 2002.

I guess you could say it's been a natural progression.

Now, then, let's talk about YOU. Who are you, and what right do you have to
question my signature?

I'm just a lurker who understands clearly what you are doing and why.

You have already been gently chastised for running chronic updates to
your rogue's gallery and been forced by your peers to restrict yourself
to a monthly update.

But that doesn't help you to get your message out about your hotel.

So what's left to you besides having the URL as part of your SIG file,
and what better way to get your SIG file out there than to become the
de facto most prolific poster in aviation related newsgroups.

That's smart marketing Jay and your not the only person in the world
who practices that sort of newsgroup marketing.

But please don't be arrogant and play dumb that some people in those
groups don't truly understand what your ulterior motives are.

Just the other day you started posting text messages with links in the
aviation binary newsgroup regarding your new multi-media clips. That's
not a multi-media newsgroup and the regulars there want to see
contributors POSTING pictures not posting links to a commercial site
for an aviation themed hotel.
