Mercury Falls

Amazon! I won't claim to be in Douglas Adams' league, but several
reviewers have compared MF to Christopher Moore, Terry Pratchett and,
yes, Mr. Adams. Make up your own mind: Go to http://mercuryfalls.net
and read the first few chapters free. If you like it, follow one of
the links to buy the book. The ebook is only $1.99! How can you go
wrong, unless the book actually makes you physically ill, which it
probably won't?

Well, I could look at it like this: If I go buy the book now, it will
mean that spam actually works. On the other hand, if I consider this an
irrevocable argument that I should ever consider reading any of your
books, it might mean that you will realize that it hurts sales more to
spam, than it gains sales. You might even tell your friends, so they
don't start spamming.
Keeping that in mind, I no longer have any intention of reading any
material with your name on it.
I'm sorry that this means loosing a potential customer, but frowning on
spam in newsgroups is by no means a new concept, and you really should
have thought about it before posting.
With best wishes for your personal life and health, but in the hope that
your sales will plummet because of this,

Ummm... Can't we make an exeption for authors flogging their own fan
fiction? They strike me as more evolved life forms than sexual fantasy
pushers.

Now *that* was funny!
To Kåre's point, buying anything promoted through SPAM is frought with
the slippery slope of encouraging Them. Them being the universal 'them'
that produces, delivers, funds, cultivates, and/or propogates SPAM.
To Tian's point, some SPAM messages are worse than others. This
particular breed (or slime-ridden variant if you prefer) may be lower on
the scumminess scale. In fact it may represent the evolution of SPAM to
a 'higher' form. That may not be saying much, pond scum is still scum,
even if some is a lovely shade of green.

to the nipples of afda by saying:
I think you're being overly harsh here, spam is unsolicited bulk email/
posts, although this post is unsolicited it isn't bulk. It hasn't been
cross posted to multiple groups and it's obviously hand crafted. I
think it's legitimate for someone who thinks that his product is
relevant for a specific group to post one message so that that group
gets to know about it.
Also I think Tian is weaseling out of a dime ;o)
All Teh best, Teh.

Shush! SHMBO may be listening, #3 hasn't finished a circuit of Sol yet
(only one fortnight to go). We've spent the last couple of weeks
playing pass Teh virus so don't go talking to me about adding another
link in the chain, not to mention the fact that you can't fit a family
of six into a decently sized car (or cat now that I think of it...).

No getting shot this year thankfully, in fact we didn't have any
active duty this year, only training. Unfortunately the main lesson
the Israeli army learnt from Teh second Lebanese war was that our
troops are under trained so we had to carry all our supplies on our
backs (including ammunition, food, water and infantry bridges) for two
days. This was considered by many to be the hardest training we
undertook (although it may be that we've just grown old and soft (I
personally will be twice as when I enlisted next year^H^H in a
month)).
In unrelated(?) news I had a hernia operation so I now have a scar to
match my wife's Caesarean.

Has it been only a year since #3? I could've sworn it was longer. It
does seem ages since your wedding photo (high speed shot of you and
Mrs Teh swirling).

If it were a family of hamsters, a decent sized cat would gladly
accommodate them.

Possibly the telephone sanitizer responsible for the phone in question

My government has declared that CO2 is dangerous to public health.
I'm now feeling like CO2 molecules are as big as that falling whale...
