UKNM: Spam alert

[Ranulf Flambard]

I have just begun reading this most distinguished and eloquent of reading

lists. You can understand my surprise when I discovered that I was not in

the cold meat section of an online supermarket as I first suspected because

of the overwhelming preponderance of SPAM !!!


I have never personally liked spam. It is cold, wet, slippery and smells of

old people (rumour has it that it is made from them as well ?).


We all know that there are some good firms out there, both large and small,

and that we work for them. Can we refrain from blatant plugs ? I see in the

recent banner advertising thread there are 3 clear winners;


bronze - Jonathan from Valueclick - oh please, at least pretend you don't

work for them


silver - adrian from Scotti media (are those realmedia ads i see being

served - where are yours ?)


gold - (and my personal favourite, adrian from 'thedeal' who plugging

several 'useful' affiliate sites (in response to a banner advertising

question) and who is, funnily enough, MD of one of them.



Am I being vindictive ? Or has spam come back into fashion ???


yours ever


Ranulf
