I'll give you an example. Let's say a regular participant in this _discussion group_ has, say, an extra taillight to get rid of. osts it here. _Not spam_. Now, let's say someone posts a message about their business to a group they haven't noticably participated in in the past. That's spam. It'd be one thing if you were contributing to the group, but this post was strictly _exploiting_ the group as a free advertising outlet, which it is not. As far as topic, a lot of ads could be considered to be on-topic, yet if that was the only criteria we'd be flooded with every vaguely Saab-ish ad people could think of (which yours is an example of), and the whole point of finding the discussions in amidst the commercials would be lost. > This group seems to talk about many things, covering many topics, even > slipping the odd car in for sale.

So then add a tag in your .sig file, and if you're actually participating your businses will get positive exposure by the quality of your posts. Laura designs webpages, I don't need that right now but if I ever do, I'll check out her site because of her consistantly useful and interesting comments here. And so on. > I would not bother to write drivel, being a waste of time. > I just thought I'd clear that up. Great, so participate in the group or not, your choice. But don't use it as a drive-by spam recipient. A lot of people make buying decisions based on exactly that behavior. Dave Hinz
