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.

There are some questions so patently silly that an answer

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.
