X-post snuffed with this post.
I can't for the life of me fathom *why* you x-posted this into NSR?
I had to go to GG to find the original, which you'd not quoted,
perhaps you should've, it wasn't such bad spam at all.

I don't pay for usenet access cause I'm not too interested in
binaries, but I didn't find the OP's post offensive either, in
fact I thought was OK info for anyone who wants that kind of service.
One of our most respected usenet gurus (Luu Tran) promotes the same
product on his website (get a month free at Newsguy link at the top
of his page). I see little difference in the OP's seemingly one-off
post, to Luu's ad link which has been visible for much longer.
So your X-post into here has left me wondering, WTF? Why couldn't you
just KF it instead of x-posting and ranting about it?
Take it easy.

You got the "Duh" bit right.

Dufuss. I don't give a shit. It wasn't posted into here until *you*
x-posted into here.

Groups(s)? only one until *you* x-posted a response to it.

Expanding on my previous post:
No, I'm *not* a SPAM sympathizer. I'm anti X-posts. Furthermore:
X-posts delivered as a *followUp-To* Spam that *wasn't* x-posted
anywhere to begin with, are IMHO 10000+ times worse than the SPAM
that got sent to where-ever it ever got sent to.
a). said SPAM was *not* x-posted *anywhere* other than some NG that
*you* read!!!
And *especially* ...
b). The SPAMer did *not* post it into *here*!!!!! _you did_
Perhaps y**r * f**kw*t wh* d*sn*t kn*w h*w t* s*t k*ll f*l*s?

Gad!
Even when I try to obfuscate - I still make spelling mistakes :-(
Should be:
Perhaps y** *r* * f**kw*t wh* d*sn*t kn*w h*w t* s*t k*ll f*l*s?
Aw, drop the "Perhaps" and "?" bit.
