Google doesn't own this group. You have as much right to be offended as I do or anyone else that is a regular contributor. And I am definitely offended by the spamming. You don't see me posting advertisements for my consulting group here and I certainly could. In fact you can't even find a reference to it in any posting I have ever made. And no doubt most of the people posting here could spam if they chose as they are intelligent capable people with something they could sell.

Once we allow spammers in here they we all come ... and they will sell everything from herbal viagra to body part enlargements. Spam is spam is spam. You can't idenify some as good and some as bad.
