Hear, hear! Even for actual messages (as opposed to ads for Web
sites), it's annoying to read them multiple times in multiple
newsgroups.

Writer R5, please see " What is the accepted way to share a message
across multiple newsgroups?"

What makes you think he cares about your opinion? He's a spammer.

Remove the "8" from the end of the link:

http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/faqs/spam.html

It's just a link to an article about excessive cross-posting, blah blah
blah. I'd say some around here are simply too anal on the topic, since the
person he was responding to is actually a long-time contributor to the
newsgroup and shouldn't generally be considered a "spammer".

just out of curiosity......what is your definition of a "spammer" and why do
u consider him one?? I guess I dont know the true def of a "spammer" cause
I dont consider Writer5 a spammer. I quite enjoy reading his reviews of
movies. If u dont like him...or consider him a spammer...dont go to his
webpage and ignore all his post....simple as that I think

Absolutely, but some people don't feel complete unless they're
complaining about something. Some would even complain if you hung them
with a new rope.

I don't know where the trailing "8" came from in my original article.

He posts the same article (or two) over and over, changing only small
parts.

I don't think you, personally, are a spammer... but that's spammer-speak.

But it's not spam; it's just something you don't like to read. That doesn't
make it spam. A spammer would just post and ignore, and would have some
commercial purpose. His website is just essentially a fan site, and if you
respond to his posts, he'll talk back to you.

Again, he's been posting around here for years. He's just a guy, not a
commercial spammer. He started out posting full reviews and other typical
usenet commentary, then he made a web page and posted reviews in both
places, then he just posted links to the reviews on the web page (so you
see, he's saving bandwidth after all). Just because you don't like seeing
his posts doesn't mean you need to libel him, so chill.

He hasn't responded to any of the many requests that he cross post
instead of post individually.

Except for the fact that each of his reviews includes a URL with a
referral to amazon for a commission.
