Why are you selling it?

The evidence that you are a spammer is visible to us all.

Your claim that I am a wanker is merely vulgar abuse of the lowest and least original sort - much too easy.

listing, one can only assume that you are the one who enjoys playing with himself.

Wanker. Too easy. Next?

I faced that three years ago and trucked the non-essentials to a local library.

Spammer. None of the newsgroups in the sci.electronics.* hierarchy are intended for buying and selling. An obvious giveaway is that none of them have "forsale" or "marketplace" in their name.

See Mark Zenier's guide to the hierarchy, at ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/m/mzenier/seguide9706.txt

When sci.electronics was split back in '95, an associated newsgroup was created for buying and selling: misc.industry.electronics.marketplace

Thanks for taking care of that. I had thought of posting, but hadn't got around to it.

Ah yes! The magic of Monty Python. :-)

I think some folks here are struggling with what spam actually is. My message was posted to this group only, because the subject of it may be of interest to electronic designers. Spam, OTOH, is typically something like a pointer to a p*rn/pharmacy website, cross-posted to

*numerous* newsgroups, none of which are concerned with discussing pornography/mail order drugs. I hope that's cleared things up for Bill Slowman and anyone else - like Genome, for example - who might be a bit hard of understanding WRT 'net matters. p.

Spam is unsolicited advertising in an inappropriate place.

As David Harmon has pointed out, sci.electronics.design isn't intended as a market-place. Your puff should have gone to misc.industry.electronics.marketplace

Pity about that, Paul. You seem to be no better informed about 'net matters than you are about over-priced books with "electronic" in the title. Artech House keeps on publishing this hyper-specialised sort of crap, so I guess there must be a bunch of ill-informed customers out there - my money would be on the Dilbertian pointy-headed managers - who keep on buying them.

I hope you got yours from a piile of remainders, but since I have never seen anything from Artech House in a serious bookshop (like Heffers in Cambridge or Blackwells in Oxford) it seems unlikely that anyone who needed to keep their stock turning over would ever waste expensive shelf space on this kind of vanity publishing for hyper-speicialist engineers.

Nothing from Artech House is ever going to be an "absolute must have" for *all * engineers. My guess is that their target market used to be university libraries (usually good for a thousand copies), and the handful of extra copies that they sold to people with ambitions to break into some specialised market were originally just a bonus.

Serious engineers read the published papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, rather than paying through the nose for the same stuff (minus the most recent papers) shoe-horned into an under-edited quasi-textbook.

Your opinion is perfectly self-interested, and nowhere near humble enough. As spamming goes, yours was a very small spam, but - like the very small baby - it defines your condition. We probably won't insist on branding all you postings with a big red S (for "Spammer"), unless we find out that this is a second offense.

I'm not on any high horse, though it may look that way from down there in the muck where you are grovelling, trying to peddle a remaindered hyper-specialised portmanteau as "an absolute must-have for every engineer". Are you sure that you didn't grow up in Nigeria?

What am I supposed to learn? That you are producing your spam as a cottage industry, rather than going in for mass production? You don't seem to be producing spam in the sort of volume that would draw the attention of an information provider, but you've certainly got the attention of this user-group, and even you should have realised by now that you have perpetrated a solecism.

Apologise, and don't do it again.

Your definition is a bit wide of the mark, IMHO.

Get off your high horse, check out this link and maybe learn something...

OK, good. Go my son, and sin no more. BTW, I placed an opening bid on your book. But don't you *ever* do that again!

 Thanks,

Okay, Bill. Whatever you say.

"What is now proved was once only imagin\'d" - William Blake

Very well, m'Lud. BTW, I also have a copy of High-Linearity RF Amplifier Design by the same (highly recommended by Bill Sloman) publishers; same condition etc. if that's of any interest to you. I was going to list it, but if you want first refusal on it, just say the word. There'll be a postal discount for two, natch.
