I get it, Chuck. It's okay to overload Usenet with spam but it's not okay to
overload Usenet by not trimming one's replies.

You should run for president. Next week, perhaps, you'll explain how to
reconcile the Arabs and the Jews.

In the newsgroups comp.arch.fpga, comp.lang.verilog,
comp.arch.embedded, sci.electronics.design and comp.lang.vhdl, I saw a
thread in which the following words were approximately attributed to
the following posters:

Email them, and sign up for subscriptions to all their blurbs. A
confirmed opt-in email list is a good way to disseminate such info. If
they don't have such a list or don't announce events timely, tell them
you'll only consider sources from companies who do.

"Well, there's spam egg Lattice and spam, that's not got much spam
in it."

In other words, "they're not breaking the rules THAT often." With
the thousands of suppliers that provide products and services relevant
to even one of the cross-posted newsgroups, there could be hundreds of
posts per day of "legitimate" commercial posts.

It's always good to be vocal about inappropriate posts. As for the
poster airing his previous problems with Lattice, perhaps they would
be better put in a blog or in a post where someone asks about using
Lattice, but that's a minor thing compared to the original post.

I have better things to do than manage kill lists. I've got "better
things to do" than write this, but but c.a.e and especially s.e.d have
been useful to me a while back, and between all the spam and splorge
in recent years, it's a pleasant surprise to see these groups are
still viable. So I'm doing my little part to help keep them alive.

Just to make a slight correction, THESE NEWSGROUPS (see crosspost
list at the top of my post) are not the proper place for commercial
posts. There are "marketplace" and "sex" newsgroups - if he's going to
spam, perhaps Bart Borosky of Lattice would do well to post to those
instead. There's no telling where a lonely engineer might go in his
spare time, and after all, "posting to Usenet is free" (as in both
beer AND speech).

Post, drink and speak responsibly.

Guys,

I read this thread after it was created and just wanted to ask a
couple of questions (while completely agreeing with the generally
accepted conclusion):
Was all this 'hot air' necessary?
Was all this bad-mouthing coming from some of the authors proper for
the group?

With respect,

Which group? It was crossposted to 5 different newsgroups, and is
unwelcome in at least one of them.
