Don't you realize that posting email is a violation
of netiquette and possibly of copyright?

Not likely. I've already discussed your email with the
owner. He thought it was quite amusing.

You obviously did not or you wouldn't be posting so stridently.

Yes I did, and yes he was - he even forwarded Joe Statesons attempt to
netcop me. You are free to believe what you want.

It was posted once and crossposted to four newsgroups.
Well within Usenet guidelines.


Commercial postings (either selling _or_ buying) are
inappropriate

Maybe. Selling I can understand, but someone looking to buy or source
parts I'm not so sure about. In any case, I was unable to find a charter
for any of the groups I posted to:
ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/news.an...newgroups/comp
No charter for comp.sys.intel or comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips
ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/news.an....newgroups/sci
No charter for sci.electronics.equipment or sci.electronics.components

I realize that newsgroups are often defined by those who actively
participate in them, though. I have no problem with not posting wanted
requests in the future if that's what most people feel in these groups.

(SPAM)

Not spam. I posted a URL for the definition of spam. Did you even bother
to read it?

for at least some of the xposted NGs.

news:misc.industry.electronics.marketplace or
http://groups.google.com/group/news:misc.industry.electronics.marketplace?hl=en
for Google users. was created to buy and sell electronics, but I see no
problem with someone looking for EOL component support on
sci.electronics.components.
