Spam in the books and writing groups...

This is all through the books and writing groups (and it's
multi-posted, not cross-posted. Don't know whether the plea at the
end is disingenuous or not):

Books @ HotTub.Net

We want to list your self-published book on our page. I am author of
my own self-pubished book, and I kow how hard it can be to get the
word out about your work; especially on a budget. So I am compiling a
list of self-published works.

This is a FREE listing. No games, no hidden cost. And I won't try to
sell you ANYTHING!

Your book, with optional graphic, a brief description, and your
address / phone number or link to your own homepage. All free.

No MLM or scams please.

I can even offer some limited tips on low cost methods of getting
copies printed as needed. So even if you have something that's been
sitting on your HD for a year or two, this might work for you.

Come check us out at http://www.HotTub.Net/books, or email me at
Bo...@HotTub.Net.

Books @ HotTub.Net, because getting published is just not easy.

I hope posting this here has not offended anyone, if so please feel
free to let me know. But please, try to be nice about it. In return I
promise not to post further messages to newsgroups where it's not
welcome.

There were, in fact, ten copies. They're gone. Had this fellow
confined his post to writing.marketing-strategies. and
books.discuss no problem.
