Current Spam thresholds and guidelines.

<snip>

"Substantively identical" means that the material in each article is
sufficiently similar to construe the same message. The signature is
included in the determination. These are examples of substantively
identical articles:

- byte-for-byte identical messages

- advertising the same service.

- articles that consist solely of the same signature

- articles which consist of inclusions of other user's
postings, but are otherwise identical.

<End quote>

See that last line, Dan, That defines your Spam. The boiler plate
foreword which you add when you repost...

I will say it again for people that just didn't understand it..

- articles which consist of inclusions of other user's
postings, but are otherwise identical.


Reposting of articles... and including the same text ( your why to
repost boiler plate)or advertising the same services (that IS your Web
pages, SpamBoy) is SPAM.

You have exceed a BI of over 20 for all of your reposted articles.

Kettler's posts are not just inclusions of other postings. He cuts them
up, reformats them incomprehensibly, and adds his own little incoherent
comments.

He isn't just quoting without adding new gobbledygook of his own.

You are aware that the BI is measured over a 45 day period, and that
reposting stuff from a year or three ago kinda gets around that limit,
right?

Can you actually document these identical posts in an objective way, or
is it a matter of you reading them and deciding subjectively that he's
saying the same thing over and over...even if he isn't using identical
words?

DK:

Your writing in protest to my including a short introduction to REPOSTS,
claim that a short identical portion of the post consitutes a

"substantively identical"

...post.

It is for this "reason" you assume some "BI" count. No-one else who
discusses these points in detail (other than assertions without
details) assumes such, only you. Others, even those of your own
persuasion have argued against you in these newsgroups. The ISPs
Compuserve, PCI Systems, (and RemarQ who sends their posts) and
DEJANEWS who allows my posts evidently do not agree either.

They all permit my posts to appear with _NO_ filters in place for any
of the URLs referenced by me, that you protest about.

No spam cancels have come about. DEJANEWS (www.deja.com) shows that.

For item 1 to apply to my posts, the entire post would have to be
identical. Since I'm not advertising, the second item does not apply.
The articles do not consist of _one part_, a signature, which is the
same
in each post. The articles do not consist of inclusions of other user's


postings, but are otherwise identical.

Quoting from the FAQ:

"Substantively identical" means that the material
in each article is sufficiently similar to construe
the same message."

How can the 4 lines of a REPOST, identical to other posts, and the
other 96 lines make this post be "the material...sufficiently similar
to construe the same _message_." It is _part_ of a message.

Now to the dictionary... "substantive" "substantively"

"...of considerable amount or quantity, substantial"

If I repost an article 2 times in 45 days, and in the beginning of
that post which consists of, usually, about 100 lines, the same thing
I'm placing in a number of other posts, only it's 4 lines long, that
is not a ...

< < "...of considerable amount or quantity, substantially" > >

sustantively identical post.

In fact, 4 lines out of 100 is about 4 percent. 4 percent is not
a substantial portion, so it is not "substantively identical."

DK:

Where are the "other user's postings" in REPOSTS?

The reference to "other user's postings" is not reposting of
other people's material, it is _replying_ to a post of "other"
people, and including their text.

BO:

> Reposting of articles... and including the same text ( your why to
> repost boiler plate)or advertising the same services (that IS your Web

> pages...

DK:

No, the "same" text you refer to is not necessarily spam. There are
no "advertisements" for services. I am referencing URLs with text
in them, not services.

As an example, this is not a "service," as the FAQ you quote
references "services."

http://www.psicounsel.com/spam.html

It explains, with references to appropriate FAQs, like the
above
quoted, what "spam" is and what "spam" is not.

Yes, that spamy foreword you use boiler plate style in each of your
reposts... That is what Tim is talking about... and in most cases it
is word for word IDENTICAL.

Really Those which I have talked to are serious looking at the claims.
It would be a method of reining in your abuse, and DAn they want to
stop your Spam...

There is three parts to each article. 1) the new information posted,
2)the quoted material, 3)and the signature.

When the first part is "substantively identical" and the BI for the
1st part exceeds 20 it is cancelable... Andrew canceled Edmo's
articles and he lost his earthlink account when he failed to heed all
warnings. He was given many, many chances to stop.

it is simple... subtract the reposted material, and what left is the
article which is subject to a BI count...

But you repost the 50 articles with the same "substantively identical"
foreword in 45 days (which is what you have done) then the all
articles are considered Spam BI=[50*sqrt(1)].

This is what Wollmann did when andrew canceled his messages and he
lost his earthlink account.

But it is what is counted... You only add a forewords and a signature,
the reposted article is dropped. and you have the same spam...

Sigh you are really clueless...

When you take an article and repost it. That article isn't counted
towards BI (unless you reposted the same article 19 more times.) but
what is counted is your foreword, just like Edmo's "Snip and
complaints sent" which was canceled and used as the basis to nuke his
earthlink account.

Don't consider the context.. your foreword is almost byte for byte
"substantively identical".
