Retic Postings and SPAM

There have been multiple accusations that the postings of H. E. Retic are
SPAM. The writer’s postings are carefully constructed so as remain within the
commonly accepted rules concerning SPAM, to wit:

1. Postings of essentially identical material shall not be made to more than
eight Newsgroups. The writer has limited his postings to seven Newsgroups.

2. Postings of essentially identical material shall not be made more frequently
than every 14 days. The writer's posting are separated by a longer time span.


"Relativistic Physics: Science or Religion" - posted verbatim to
sci.physics.particle on 9/19 and 9/24

"Will the Ligo experiment work" - posted verbatim to
sci.physics.relativity twice on 9/26

Need I go on?

3. Postings shall be reasonably close to the topic to which the Newsgroups is
dedicated. My postings are closer to being on topic for each Newsgroup than are
most of the postings within that group.


What does "The scarcity of life bearing planets" have to do with
particle physics? or relativity?


4. The postings shall not be used for commercial purposes. They are not.

5. There shall be no alteration of the header material of the postings. While
the postings are made under many different E-mail names, however AOL provides
for multiple user names and permits them to be altered at will.


Whether AOL allows multiple user names is irrelevent. By anyone's
definition, the user name is part of the header and posting
identical material with multiple user names is clearly an
"alteration of the header material".

None of the writer's actions constitute SPAM as it is currently defined.

Actually, your posts satisfy 3 out of 5 of your own criteria for SPAM.
