Okay though if you mention this usenet group I'll
add cap and water bottle to the order. Offer expires Sunday midnight
PDT.

How can anyone be sure that you're not lying about this, too?

I am with you. My own little form of protest is to never purchase anything
from spammers.

Thanks for the link. I like seeing nice jersey designs.

So what if you sucked me in. I'm not buying one anyway. Neither would
have most of the complainers bought one so there's no harm done.
Several regular posters tout their web sites without being derided as

The regular posters are regular guys and behave in regular ways - for
the most part! 😉 They don't resort to schizophrenic third person
chicanery. It might seem like a fine difference to some, but it's
not.

The odd thing is the guy actually does have some nice stuff. For the
life of me I can't figure out why he'd feel it was necessary to blow
smoke up people's asses to sell it.

I agree with you there. It's not like his site's trying to load me up
with malware.

True, but they usually let you know up front that they are touting their
own web site, rather than coming on as "hey, look at the cool site I
found." There was a guy who tried that with his wetsuits a while back,
and received pretty much the same treatment as Rick.

Like others have said: nice designs, but a bit pricey. Not totally out
of reason, but more than I am generally willing to pay.

BINGO.

(Although his stuff is way overpriced IMO.)

Perhaps "commercial trolling" should be considered a new category of
so-called spam. The product linked in the post is topical for the
limited number of groups in which it was cross-posted.

It wasn't EMP by any method of measurement.

Guerrilla marketing has its own risks, I guess.

I still like the jersey designs. The custom made jacket with your
event numbers is fantastic.

Acting like "just some guy" who "just happened to stumble" on the website
when in fact he owns it is dishonest. Period.

That is the wonder that is Usenet. You guys get to hold hands and
sing Kumbaya, _and_ we deliver a [censored]-storm of on-point criticism to
someone who probably never saw it coming. 🙂

Generally, the feedback on such an activity (Wow! Look what I just
found!) outside Usenet would be in dribs and drabs and not
particularly constructive. The perp...sorry...the alleged perp would
probably not learn from the experience. Enter Usenet where spankings
are everyday occurrences, and a broad sampling of
misfits...sorry...posters would weigh in with their opinions.

The OPerp (trademarked, sorry) seems a good-natured sort, and I'm
willing to discount his transgression as an abundance of youthful
exuberance.*

Over the years I've met some number of salesmen who just do stupid [censored] like
that. They'll have a perfectly legitimate, if humble company with decent
products and some reasonable hope of expansion - then exaggerate to the point of
discrediting what they've really got. Or this bogus testimonial / sock puppet
thing - I don't get it. Why lie when the truth is available and perfectly
suitable to your intentions.

Oh well.

There's a current thread in the construction groups where a
manufacturer makes a totally outrageous claim - that their plastic
product that allows grass to be driven on (think honeycomb) can
support 97,000 pounds per square foot, or 1.2 fully loaded semi-
tractor trailers on every square foot. I find such claims insulting.
