Who made you usenet police? I posted a link to an article on a leading mining news and analysis website. How could this possibly be spam?
Just trying to spread a little happiness, unlike yourself.

Nope, it was spam. Therefore you get reported to your web hosting company.

Anything with a subject line like yours must be regarded as spam unless proven otherwise.

You asked for it...
*There is some debate about the source of the term, but the generally accepted version is that it comes from the Monty Python song, "Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam." Like the song, spam is an endless repetition of worthless text. Another school of thought maintains that it comes from the computer group lab at the University of Southern California who gave it the name because it has many of the same characteristics as the lunchmeat Spam:
Nobody wants it or ever asks for it. No one ever eats it; it is the first item to be pushed to the side when eating the entree. Sometimes it is actually tasty, like 1% of junk mail that is really useful to some people.

I noticed someone (the spammer no doubt) had rated your posts as poor on Google Groups -
I've noticed spammers doing the same on other occasions which will screw things up if Google ever decide to make use of these ratings.
I've tried to redress the balance a little :-)

Lots of people use Google Groups including me.
Care to explain how that makes me a loser ?

Bitstring , from the wonderful person Daytona said
You've lost out on the facilities offered by a decent newsreader, and you are supporting a service which resolutely refuses to do anything about the amount of spam being spewed into usenet via its system. As a result many people (me included) now just killfile anything originating from googlegroups.
Since I saw the post above I deduce it =wasn't= posted via googlegroups, so presumably you are only a part-time loser ..

Anyway!
If anyone acted on my so called spam, well done! You have made 7.23% today. More than you'll make in a year in your bank account or building society.
