Hello all
I have two 8480 Lego Technic Space Shuttles for Auction, [...]


Michael,

In the course of 7 minutes earlier today, you posted four identical copies
of the same message to four different groups:

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.general:4420
   http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.market.auction:1715
   http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade:1516
   http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.uk:769

Please note, as Larry Pieniazek points out,

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade:1519

that your newsreader very likely has facilities for posting to multiple
groups at once (this is called "crossposting"), and this reduces clutter for
most people.  However, this is relatively minor.

What's more important to understand is that the particular content of your
message is appropriate to only one of the groups you addressed -- namely the
lugnet.market.auction group -- and not to any of the other three, as Larry
kindly points out in a second message:

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.general:4429

Please take a few moments to reflect on this, and to carefully re-read the
Terms of Use for lugnet.com,

   http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/

which you agreed to when you applied for posting privileges.  In particular,
please note the following:

   DISCUSSION GROUP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

      LUGNET includes discussion groups which allow feedback and
      interaction between users.  LUGNET and its owners and/or operators
      do not control or censor messages, information, or files delivered
      to discussion groups.  It is a condition of your use of the
      discussion groups that you do not:

      [...]

      10. Post or re-post a message excessively, especially unsolicited
          advertisements, even if they are directly or indirectly related
          to LEGO toys.

      11. Post auction announcements, updates, or listings in discussion
          groups which do not explicitly welcome their presence.

Note that the .market.auction group is the only one which explicitly
welcomes auction announcements and updates.  If you would, Michael,
please confirm that you understand the transgressions that have occurred,
and that you intend to conform to the Terms of Use in the future.  Thanks.

Best regards,
--Todd

So Todd, When you post these notes, I'm always impressed, but doesn't composing a note like this take a bunch of time? How many of these do you do in a week? Do you have some simple cut-n-paste scheme for these set up? (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
