Al,

you don't have to be selling anything to send spam.
Spam being 'unsolicited mail to promote products or
services'.

Matt is promoting a product, you are promoting a service....
What/ where is the difference?!?

www.gliderforum.com is free, non profit. a service
to soaring and a lot
better than NNTP news.

Mat on the other hand is trying to sell flying wing
kits for commercial
gain.

There is your difference!!

Al
www.gliderforum.com

Al,

just before you left RAS to moderate your own forum,
many of your posts were merely adverts for what was
happening over on www.gliderforum.com

Please therefore explain your hypocrisy when you accuse
Matt of spamming.....

Regards,

Tim

It seems a stretch to suggest Mat is selling flying wing kits for
"commercial gain"! It looks to me, after visiting Jim Marske and Mat
Redsell at their shop, that they are promoting an idea, and any money
made is quite incidental, more like a hobby. I don't mind Mat attempts
to promote flying wings, even if they are clumsy at times.

It seems a stretch to suggest Al is "spamming" the group by announcing
his gliderforum. I usually consider spam to be UCE (usolicited
commercial email), which doesn't apply to Al.
