Subject:Three cheers for good manners! From:Patrick O'Connell <patricko -at- EICON -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 23 Aug 1994 12:27:00 PDT
Now, THIS is how to post commercial material to a mailing list or Usenet
newsgroup. If the notorious "spamming" lawyers had only been so
thoughtful...of course, there's no such thing as a newsgroup owner, only
mediator, and the majority of newsgroups are unmediated. What *should*
would-be commercial posters to newgroups be required to do in advance?
Suggestions?
