Dear Frank

Have a life !!

Actually, the correct idiomatic English is "Get a life!". :^)

Please tell where to post and share this news ?

In rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace only. I myself was not sure that you
were advertising for the Danish company, or indeed just telling us "the
news". Your post did not seem appropriate for rec.collecting.stamps.discuss.

If you had seen a particular item worth sharing information about (as people
often do in this newsgroup for eBay items they come across), that's one
thing. But a broad recommendation for a company seems very much like
advertising and, posted to this newsgroup, nothing more than spam. You have
not posted to this newsgroup for almost two years, according to the Google
Groups archive; if you were a frequent poster to this newsgroup, and had
been part of our community all along, we would have been less suspicious of
your motives.

In any event, we wish you would join us. You and I have corresponded about
your military postal history interests; I'm sure you could often add
substance to our discussions.

arrgggggg. I missed that you cross-posted. OK cross-posting = bad! The NG I
deleted from this reply is the one you should have posted in.

BTW I have a nice life - and part of it is enjoying the discussion NG
(R.C.S.D). It has been an awesome place to share ideas and learn about our
common hobby. As of late many spammers (unwanted and likely mass mailers)
have sought fit to descend on our fair NG and drop their proverbial turds
all over the place! You just happened to be the lucky one to get the brunt
of my dissatisfaction.

Dear all

I'm sorry that you didn't want to hear my tip.
I'm a collector and a long time reader of your news group.

My message in the original posting was not to spam anyone,
but to share the great news of having a new dealer on the internet
- this time a place to buy fine quality material.

As many other collectors I surf the internet to find good offers
- most are found on eBay, but I was happy to find and share an alternativ
place for scandinavian Postal History. Maybe this information could help
some fellow collectors to find the items they need. But I was wrong.

I understand this group is more discuss - than collecting -
and I hope someone somewhere is able to delete this unwanted message.

may
result in a suit for slander or libel by the target of those
comments.)

involved newsgroups, including the charter of

With respect to graphics:
- No message may be posted containing graphics. Such messages will be
purged automatically.
- Persons wishing to use graphics must instead provide one of the
following in a posted message:
-- an offer to E-mail the graphics to anyone who requests;
-- a link to a Web site containing the graphics (this does not
count as a Web site link in a signature);
-- a link to an FTP site from which anyone may download the
graphics;
or
-- a citation to another newsgroup where graphics are permitted
within

Commercial versus non-commercial (or private party)

Q. Does it matter whether I'm a commercial dealer or a private party?

A. Yes. Commercial dealers may not post advertising in
rec.collecting.stamps.discuss. Private parties may only post offers
to trade in rec.collecting.stamps.discuss. Private parties may only
post offers to buy, sell, or auction in
rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace.

Language:

Rec.collecting.stamps is an international forum and articles may be
posted
in any language.

Profanity is, as you might expect, discouraged.

Moderation:

Rec.collecting.stamps.discuss is an unmoderated group.

Eventually consider as follows:

- By its difficult coming into being this NG is very sensitive in what
concerns the commercial ads
- It was quite spammed in the last time
- You have posted the same in the RSCD *and* in the RCSM, what in this case
could be a bit ambiguous.

Because some participants noticed you that there are some problems with your
posting, you:

- initially answered with "Have a life !!" ...

- then started with a "Sorry !" and actually criticized this NG as a whole
for being "more discuss - than collecting -".

IMHO, some of those who answered your postings possibly overreacted a bit,
but surely they weren't alone in this. And you have not only got generally
civilized answers, but also a nice invitation to stay with us, despite some
differences in appreciation.

Rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace would seem to be logical. Note no adds other
