Re: PEAR DB 1.6.0 has been released
SPAM
has been
typically identified
the world over as unsolicited
marketing messages of typically
commercial products of one form or
another, in email, and of course newsgroups.
But announcements about open source projects with
their latest release can hardly be called "SPAM" when
it's an announcement to people that would most likely be
interested in it. Of course people like you who don't know
what it is shoot off your posts of poop and denounce a perfectly
legitimate post. This is why you and others were properly defined
as internet turds, clogging up the newsgroup with your poop,
creating even more traffic than the original announcement.
Instead of thanking the person that made the announcement
we saw mans' inhumanity to man once again, the typical
unimaginative poop coming in all upset about messages
that offended you without thinking about how it
might have been a benefit. You and a lot of
people actually think you have a god-given
right to have email and newsgroups. By
the way most of the newsgroups in this
thread have plenty of useless chat in
many of the threads having nothing
to do with anything other than
silly banter. Poop away with
more poop!
