Do you really think the person who posted this SPAM is going to see your
reply ... or really care? It is nothing more than an advertisement and
it is cross-posted to 5 different groups -- one of which is for brewing
beer and the poster has, to my knowledge, never posted anything there
except his oragami spam. And he has posted the same crap on a lot of
other groups that don't have anything to do with oragami. Usenet would
become absolutely worthless if everyone with a business were to post
advertisements. If people want to find products and services, it is
easier now than ever before with the Internet ... unless the user is a
complete idiot.
Anyway, you have thanked the SPAMMER and have thus encouraged SPAM, as
is your right, but I have a different approach ... heh, heh. I'm so
sick and tired of these folks that I'm starting to teach them a little
lesson. Right now I have my system set up to download every single page
in that oragami site once every minute from now on, 24 hours a day, 7
days a week until I stop. The combined downloaded pages are 2.4
megabytes, so that is 144 meg/hr, or over 3.4 gigs per day, and over a
hundred gigs in a month. Unless he owns his own server, he is going to
go way over the maximum limit of most hosting services, and then it is
going to start costing him money, if the hosting service doesn't decide
to discontinue the site. Then if he moves to a different host, same
thing happens again. Maybe he'll need to just get a whole new
domain-name. And the real beauty is that it's all automatic and my
system doesn't even slow down a heartbeat.
Anyone spamming rec.crafts.brewing is risking the same retaliation.
They can take me to court if they don't like it.
Cheers.
