But actually be it one email, two emails or 1000 emails what you did really is considered spam.
spam
1. <messaging> (From Hormel's Spiced Ham, via the Monty Python "Spam" song) To
post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other
messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of netiquette.

In all actualality what I am doing right now is considered Spam as well, and yet I will apologize
for it.
But it's best not to start a flame war with people which is very well the route you are
starting to take with this.
This is suppose to be a list for coding, for PHP to be specific, and no your post about your auction
site to the
list is inappropriate material for the list. So yes, it was Spam. Your best bet really would have
been to drop it,
let everyone chalk it up as a mistake on your part and move on, not:
> You people take everything too seriously.
> I'm sure you've also doen it once in you life before.
>
> And a message for bvr and caspe kennerdale.
> You are obviousely Americans
1. I know very few people that have resorted to Spam, I run several pay sites and I won't do
it, because it is bothersome
to people, and that isn't the way to attract clients/users.
2. What really is the relevance of your statement about how they must obviously be Americans? This
is the point I was
making about taking the wrong path and inciting a flame war. It serves no purpose, undermines the
list, and wastes
people's email box space with useless mail.
Again as I've admited this message itself can be considered Spam and it very well is. But I
apologize for it, since it is not
in the topic of the list, but I for one prefer to see emails about code, not 'What I've
always been waiting for'.
Thanks and my apologies for being off topic to the list.
