A signature attached to a posting is never a problem (the posting itself
above the signature should contain content) to a usenet posting AS LONG AS
there is a correct signature separator "-- " (dash dash space; on a single
line) AND the signature should not exceed 4 lines. This is common practise
on usenet.

One *might* discuss the "shameless plugs", but they are almost always
connected to aviation, so I see it not as a really big problem at all.

I might not be on the same line with Jay on the one or other viewpoint, but
I can't blame him for his signature (AFAIR he corrected the signature
separator)

I can write my (political) opinion here, it is OK to be "off topic"
the sig should not exceed 4 lines and should only be max. 80 chars.
so here comes my last line ....................... have a good day.

Gee, before I owned an airplane, all my sig line said was "Iowa City, IA"
(Which is a damn-sight more than I can say about YOUR signature line.)

Then, in 1998, we added "Warrior N33431". When we sold that in 2002, and
bought Atlas, it became "Pathfinder N56993".

Then, when Mary and I debated (here, by the way, with many of you all) long
and hard about buying an old hotel, and converting it to an aviation theme,
fly-in destination, I added our new website to the signature. That was also
in 2002.

I guess you could say it's been a natural progression.

Now, then, let's talk about YOU. Who are you, and what right do you have to
question my signature?

I'm just a lurker who understands clearly what you are doing and why.

You have already been gently chastised for running chronic updates to
your rogue's gallery and been forced by your peers to restrict yourself
to a monthly update.

But that doesn't help you to get your message out about your hotel.

So what's left to you besides having the URL as part of your SIG file,
and what better way to get your SIG file out there than to become the
de facto most prolific poster in aviation related newsgroups.

That's smart marketing Jay and your not the only person in the world
who practices that sort of newsgroup marketing.

But please don't be arrogant and play dumb that some people in those
groups don't truly understand what your ulterior motives are.

Just the other day you started posting text messages with links in the
aviation binary newsgroup regarding your new multi-media clips. That's
not a multi-media newsgroup and the regulars there want to see
contributors POSTING pictures not posting links to a commercial site
for an aviation themed hotel.

As far as I can tell, you've never contributed anything here except for a
smartass comment or two.

Jay's been posting here for about as long as anyone, jerkweed. It wasn't
until relatively recently that he started including his sig with his posts.
Any even the sig is "aviation related". Buzz off if'n you don't like it.

I appreciate Jay's post. His .signature is not out of line.
People ask about his business, and he tells about recent updates,
and the ups and downs of his business. He even invited YOU to the
free beer and pool party enroute to Oshkosh next year. Jay often
talks (writes) about his piloting experiences with the family.

Jay is NOT a spammer. He posts with his email address, and his
web ADDRESS. I know EXACTLY who he is and how/where to find
him to discuss PRIVATELY anything that might be on my mind
about his postings.

However... I don't know who you are, or what you do. Care to
enlighten us?

Jay I feel that YOU are spamming these aviation newsgroups with
your SIG file and your constant references to your website and
I am politely asking you to drop any reference to AlexisParkInn
from future postings.

If anyone else feels the same way then ask Jay the same question
and see for yourself what his response is.

And you win S4B for the month.

Here's a dollar - buy a clue!

Nope, I don't feel the same way. So long as Jay's sig. adheres to the "--"
standard, (and it does), who cares? Don't change a thing Jay! At least
you've got the guts to put your real name and e-mail address in your posts.
More than can be said about some folks.

Your kiddin' right? Two little dashes mean the difference between
feeling all warm and fuzzy and getting ****ed off? Man, get a life.

What's this "AlexisParkInn" you speak of? Sounds like a place I might
like to visit. Tell me more!
