Or rather, since you have posted this to uk.rec.cycling, you could just
post it here instead, which makes much more sense if you are an urc-er.

I'm sorry Sam, but IMO, promoting your forum in your sig is ok if your
posts to urc are of 'useful' content.

However, plain and simple attempts like this to 'tout for business' for
your forum, aren't welcome.

But one of my favourite shops is Spa Cycles in Harrogate.

[sigh] All right. I give up. I've explained myself as best I can on
other threads, but if I'm pissing off people like Guy, I'm cutting my
PR campaign short.

I know how annoying spam can be, which is why I laboured mightily to
make my posts amusing. If they still didn't rise above spam in most of
urc's eyes, I've failed, and will hang up my toestraps forthwith.

No. If you really *knew* how annoying spam is you wouldn't have sent it
out.

Well hurrah for that, but please learn that spam is spam is spam. If it
was meant to be okay because it was amusing then don't give up your day
job for a career in comedy.

Well, a bit of sense.

Sorry, you failed - 'oh, not another pointless message from Sam touting
for business' was my response.

It looks like a well designed website (the former), but how are you going to
compete against the likes of the Cycling Plus forum and even this newsgroup?
Surely the market is saturated. There's also cyclingforums.com.
