Mountain Boarding DVD

Spamming Dykhead said:

Hi,

For MTB'ers in the UK, if you ever feel like a bit of a change my
company has just produced a new DVD about the sport of Mountain
Boarding. I know it is a huge risk posting this info on a newsgroup
because it can be construed as unwelcome spam. But I hope some of you
take a look anyway :-) http://www.five-excrementproductions.co.uk for more
information.

Lets see you spam a group inorder to get more web traffic to sell a
comercial product. All the while knowing that this sort of spam is
unwelcome. And from the looks of the title ... OT spam at that.

Then you get your panties in a twist that people might be hostile.

Why don't you go spam one of the many fs groups? Or better yet
MTBR.com.

Get stuffed douchebag.

You could always create alt.mountainboarding .... nah to much hard work
for those "Extreme" sports types.

It was at the risk of being unwelcome. Though given that many of the
people that attend the ATB centres are also MTBers, and also use some of
the same trails I thought it might be of interest. So I do not consider
it OT. Hey, words gotta get around somehow!

I was being lighthearted when I said that. I expected some people to be
hostile. If you do not like what I sell, then fine. But I hope you have
gathered by now that I am not an automated spam machine, or someone that
thinks they are being chased by MI5 ;-)

Good idea ;-) But perhaps not.

Thank you for your comments. Newsgroups are a great resource for
spreading information. But while I appreciate your comments, I also know
that there will be others in here who may actually take an interest, so
I am afraid I will have to stick around in case anyone wishes to ask me
any sensible questions or give useful feedback.

If you do your homework, you will find that newsgroups are great for
spreading NON COMMERCIAL information. Historically, ads are only welcome in
marketplace groups. Anything else is spam no matter what you think about it.

Simon,

FWIW if this were posted on a marketplace group, I may have checked it
out. Anything for sale in a non-marketplace forum, however, just gets
skipped over. The only reason I clicked this thread at all is I was
surprised by the number of replies.

I actually admire your positive responses. It's very easy to be
negative when attacked, but you kept it going in the right direction.
While I am really not interested in that skateboard thingy in your
video, the fact that you came back and tried to put a positive spin on
the spam does make me feel better. Good luck in your endeavors.

For the record, next time prefix your subject with OT or SPAM. That
might help reduce the attacks.

BTW, what's up with that MI5 [censored]? I don't get it.

Thanks, I will do that if I need to in the future.

The reason I didn't post in a market place NG was mainly because they
are full of pure 'dodgy' spam and I assumed nobody read those NG's for
that reason. I'm sorry that I may have offended some here. But its out
in the open now :-)

He's been around for a number of years. I'm amazed he is still going.
Thats one committed guy! ;-)

Hi,

Kinda figured you might be. It goes well with "extreme" sports.

Why would you post a comercial ... to a group like this and "expect
some people to be hostile."
You should expect everyone to be hostile. There are lots of ppl here
who have both comercial as well as non comercial ties to the
bicycle/outdoor industry. Yet, if you actually spent any time here, you
would notice that none of the regulars here pander the way you did.

Why would it matter if you were human or a machine. the result is the
same. I don't care about "what" you are selling ... just that yoyu are
trying to sell it on a non-comercial site, Human or bot ... you are a
douche.

Hi,

and a big Hi to you too.
You sure have a lot of interests. James Bond, Hypnosis, Global Warming for example.
Since newsgroups are 'such a great resource for spreading information' why have you not targetted those groups with today's spam.

I don't believe we've met. Yes, I do have a lot of interests. I do tend
to do more than just run a business, just as you seem to also have an
interest in skiing, and if it is the same Dardruba, an interest in video
too on DV Doctor. But since you ask why I posted here, the type of
interest is the reason. Mountain Boarding is a minority sport and the
outlets for getting the word out are limited. This is rather amusing
though since the response to my posting has been more hostile than the
aggressive spammers, and at the same time has drawn attention to
something that you don't want attention drawn to. So its all good. Are
you really that angry about all of this? I apologise if I have offended
you and made you angry, but I am afraid that I cannot retract my
original post.

I just find it incredibly humorous that you are indignant about an OT post
in an ALT newgroup....these things are all but dead anyway, yet there are
those that still think this is simply a group about MTB, as it hasn't been
that in quite sometime....that's so cute!!

I think maybe if you'd been a long term member and posted a decent amount
first, maybe introducing mountainboarding as an OT "ride report" style post
at some point in the past people might have taken your "advert" a little
more kindly - but essentially it looks like you've looked through a list of
extreme sports NGs and posted to vaguely relevant ones knowing what you
were doing wasnt going to be liked. No-one likes a newbie to come in and
push something in your face when they know its going to annoy you.

However - mountain boarding (I own one, but I use it with my kitesurfing
kites) looks like a mental sport and good fun - i just cant pluck up the
courage to try it on a non-flat surface and without wind power!

asking for a little name calling. Particularly when the couch there
spam with a note that say " know it is a huge risk posting this info on

Face it Dave ... it's spam. The author knew it was spam, and he posted
it becuase publicity ...good or bad is ... publicity, and it is even
better when it is free.

So whats the harm? The OP gets his free pub. And I get to call him the
F**king as**ole that he is. Pretty much a win win situation.
