If you have something to promote then stop being a rude inconsiderate troll. All usenet groups have charters. This one too. And you are supposed to be responsible enough to read it before posting to determine what is and is not appropriate.

What you are doing is promoting a product and that is strictly forbidden. So either post at c.d.o.marketplace or go to c.d.ingres where, as Mark Townsend has pointed out, you haven't posted once. If you have something to offer offer it there. Otherwise expect us to contact your ISP and report you for your activities Yahoo is very good at cancelling accounts when they receive evidence that someone has repeatedly been advised of charter violations and persisted in their behavior.

In short ... get on-topic or get lost.
