   Clue time: Mark's point is that such advertisements are not really
stuff relevant to comp.sys.apple2.gno. Or .comm. Or .programmer. If
anyone wants to get stuff, they'll read comp.sys.apple2, and NOT need
to read it in 6 places. Likewise, this topic has no need of being in
comp.sys.apple2.gno, and has been sent to comp.sys.apple2.

   Further, all of these posts come out individually, not properly
crossposted. The advantage of crossposting is that people read a given
article _once_, despite how many newsgroups it's been sent to. It
appears that some members of the Apple II community have no clue as to
how to do it. Large amounts of crossposting to off-topic newsgroups
is called SPAM, and dang annoying on the internet.

   I don't care about these contests, and have never participated in
them. I run an Apple II WWW site based on facts, information, and
the truth, and am not desperate for tricks to run up page counters.
Others are free to do what they want, as long as they don't tick
everyone off.
