"Introduction to posting to net.general", an article frequently posted to this news group, says: --------- What is appropriate to post to net.general? The only articles appropriate to net.general are articles of general interest and importance to *EVERYONE* on the net. This includes readers of the net in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, and the USA -- readers at over 1100 sites around the world. Announcements of items for sale, test messages, announcements of local seminars, postings of sources or bugs, enquiries as to the whereabouts of old friends, and the like are *NOT* to be posted to net.general. Followups to articles in net.general are also NOT supposed to go to net.general; there is a "net.followup" specifically for that purpose. By convention, anything posted to net.general should *NOT* be posted to any other "net" group, except perhaps "net.announce" (which is a moderated group). Where do I post those articles then? Look for a local or regional group first, and use the distribution feature of "postnews" (see the "man" page for postnews and/or the articles in "net.announce.newusers" for specifics on how to do this). --------- First of all, this is NOT of general importance, for it is geared to the New England area. Secondly, it is a commercial, not an article. This is bad, bad, bad, bad.... Third, he posted it to several news groups. Either he doesn\'t have the sense to read rules, or he has a blatant disregard for them. Do we want this person to be walking on our streets knowing he could molest our children or murder at will because he chooses not to follow an accepted code of ethics? NO!!!! I hate commercials. Especially on a medium where commercials are supposedly forbidden. Let's hope this doesn\'t happen again. Besides, the sound system is not that great.

What will they think of next???? Are we going to have people using the network to sell us tvs, washers,dryers, armpit spray, etc. etc. etc.????? I SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the author of this note wants to advertise, he can buy time on television like the wall street assholes....the network isn't for this purpose. Selling a used stereo or guitar amp is one thing (done in the proper notesfile) but I don't need to see commercials on the network, and I don't think the rest of you out there do either, do you???? keith hedger ihnp4!inmet!ada-uts!hedger intermetrics cambridge, mass.

I am certainly not in favor of seeing the network become an haven for those seeking free advertising, but: I am just as sick of seeing a million followups everytime someone posts an inappropriate article. If the net police are upset about the X dollars in phone charges spent to send the ad, isn't it even more foolish to spend 30*X dollars to transmit to the whole country the type of article quoted above in one redundant followup after the next? Please folks, *mail*, do not post, your objections to inappropriate articles and transgressions of usenet netiquette. Thank you -- Ben Broder {ihnp4,decvax} !hjuxa!catnip!ben
