"Patty Winter" wrote in message ... In article , Lawrence Akutagawa wrote: [lots of unneeded previous quoting deleted] So Alan, for the third time, allow me to ask you the exact same question Which is still unclear. Here's what it would be without the extraneous phrases: " are you perhaps, maybe, just possibly be suggesting that anyone attempting to attract tourists post here in rec.travel.usa-canada inducements to travel in the hopes that folks visiting this newsgroup be indeed induced to tour? See the problem? Are you asking whether people *should* post about out-of-US/Canada areas, or whether they *do* post about them? Without the word "should" before "post," one could read that as, "Are you suggesting that people post here to induce travel?" To which the logical answer would be, "Yes, that's exactly why they post here." The answer to "Should those people post here?" is, of course, "No." And I hope that, in addition to publicly chastizing them, you are also reporting them to their ISPs. I don't know how many of the latter give a darn about Usenet newsgroup charters, but it's worth a try. Patty ah yes...Patty. I see. Many thanks for the clarification. I did mean "should" and now with that clarification look forward to Alan's response. You - and I - clearly think that this newsgroup be focused on travel within the USA and Canda, but Alan in his initial posting seems to be somewhat sympathetic to Balinese posting here inducements for Bali. |

Alan, what's the point of your repeated postings regarding this subject? Good point. Outa this one. Sorry 'bout that; just got cheesed off. Cheers, Alan, Australia |

Well, yeah, he was "somewhat sympathetic" to that particular ad. But his overall feelings about spammers are quite clear. I think you and he agree fully on the general problem. Patty |
