Aw, now you've placed me in the position of appearing to defend an
article posted by the infamous Mr. Rhine.

Actually, the newsgroup charter specifies:

Information pertinent to pilots of general aviation aircraft
which would not fall into one of the other non-misc
rec.aviation groups.

So it is _information_ (not personal experience) that is crucial for
on-topic articles posted to this newsgroup.

It is something that should be
posted all over the aviation community to keep this guy in business

That is the =definition= os spam.

Well, that's partially true.

spam vt.,vi.,n.

[from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"] 1. To crash a program by
overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data.
See also buffer overflow, overrun screw, smash the stack.

2. To cause a newsgroup to be flooded with irrelevant or
inappropriate messages. You can spam a newsgroup with as little as
one well- (or ill-) planned message (e.g. asking "What do you
think of abortion?" on soc.women). This is often done with
cross-posting (e.g. any message which is crossposted to
alt.rush-limbaugh and alt.politics.homosexuality will almost
inevitably spam both groups). This overlaps with troll behavior;
the latter more specific term has become more common.

3. To send many identical or nearly-identical messages separately
to a large number of Usenet newsgroups. This is more specifically
called `ECP', Excessive Cross-Posting. This is one sure way to
infuriate nearly everyone on the Net. See also velveeta and jello.

4. To bombard a newsgroup with multiple copies of a message. This
is more specifically called `EMP', Excessive Multi-Posting.

5. To mass-mail unrequested identical or nearly-identical email
messages, particularly those containing advertising. Especially
used when the mail addresses have been culled from network traffic
or databases without the consent of the recipients. Synonyms
include UCE, UBE. 6. Any large, annoying, quantity of output. For
instance, someone on IRC who walks away from their screen and
comes back to find 200 lines of text might say "Oh no, spam".

The later definitions have become much more prevalent as the
Internet has opened up to non-techies, and to most people senses 3
4 and 5 are now primary. All three behaviors are considered abuse
of the net, and are almost universally grounds for termination of
the originator's email account or network connection. In these
senses the term `spam' has gone mainstream, though without its
original sense or folkloric freight - there is apparently a
widespread myth among lusers that "spamming" is what happens when
you dump cans of Spam into a revolving fan.
