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.

"Ulterior"? That's a fairly strong statement with no basis in presented
fact. Jay contributes here, unlike some other people. His posts have
sufficient utility that they're seen. More, his posts generate non-flaming
replies, further demonstrating the utility of those posts.

Can you say the same?

Jay's signatures are aviation-related, but there's no mandate for this. A
signature can be whatever the user wants. As Jay is following the standard
for such things, anyone motivated to tell their newsreader to ignore
signatures would never see it.

Oh my God...Jay is saving bandwidth by posting links instead of entire
binaries? What is the world coming too? Doesn't he realize that he pays
for the "link" bandwidth, while he'd be using other people's bandwidth if
he posted the entire file?

Jay, what type of weird-o are you, failing to freeload on the USENET
infrastructure?

Dude, get a clue. I'll bet pilots, especially pilots who also read
these few newsgroups, are a tiny fraction of Jay's clientel. Jay is a
prolific poster 'cause he:

- has too much energy
- has too much time
- doesn't have a life
- all of the above

His posts are usually entertaining, sometimes ignorant but rarely
arrogant. He's definitely a positive element of these groups so who
cares if we know all about his Inn? I stopped there once, it was the
best motel I stayed at on my journey.

Hey -- it's February in Iowa. How much of a life can I have? :-)

Actually, my life is incredibly full, between family, flying, and the
business. 18 hour days are the norm.

I'm just a fast typist, and I don't need much sleep.

Boy, talk about "damned with faint praise"... ;-)

Hell, if it wasn't for input from a lot of you guys (and gals) we probably
wouldn't have bought the inn. This group has, in many ways, helped to
create our hotel.

Don't take it personally. I'm well known for trash talking
everything. Maybe my shrink can fix it...

I thought you said he's an incompetent charlatan? :-)

Those words don't sound like me, but I'll check on Google.

I'm more likely to simply call him an ass when he praises Bush ;-)
