My bet on the rhetorical question that you'd take the bait and the post here on FnK would have been a lot different. Ie. replace "Spam" with "Thank you Solid you saved me $15!"

Its obviously debatable since theres no real fixed definition of "email spam", and some people consider email spam anything you didnt ask for, some will choose either side of the spam / not spam fence....

I just think someone sending an email to you about a party you have probably considered going to or have friends who are going to is a far cry from offering you Viagra pills discounted from California rates for US residents, offering "free" access to porn, or some other "special one time offer" that couldnt be directed towards someone more different than you.

This argument has been hashed and rehashed over and over again, so if your opinion differs from mine thats your perrogative. All I'm saying is that a targeted broadcast message to a select audience isnt the spam problem at all, its people who send out literally hundreds of millions of messages per month that is what I would consider "spam" in the harmful sense of the word.

hi, unsolicited email advertising a service or product is spam.

liking the same genre of music as a promoter is promoting is not soliciting his business.

class over, pack up your books and go home.

Was the lesson in bad grammar? WTF is "liking the same genre of music as a promoter is promoting is not soliciting his business." supposed to mean?

rawb · #32 (**permalink**) Sep 21, 04

maybe it was a rhetorical sentence dr semantics!

i forgot a comma, but you can split it up yourself im sure.

'liking the same music as a promoter is promoting'
'is not soliciting his business'

Hmm.. No matter where I put the comma, it still doesnt make sense...

liking the same music as a promoter is promoting, is not soliciting his business

liking the same music as a promoter, is promoting is not soliciting his business

liking the same music as a promoter is promoting is not, soliciting his business

liking the same music, as a promoter is promoting is not soliciting his business

liking the same music as a promoter is promoting is not soliciting, his business

Maybe you should shelf the know it all teacher attitude until you master written English.

Its always difficult for those mastering ESL with Piglatin as their primary language. We understand.

let me know when you're saying something relevant to the discussion or insulting to my person.

i'll be sure to either school you on how abuse systems/UCE/thar interweb works, or make fun of you again for not knowing how to use the word 'rhetoric' and yet making grammar decisions for the rest of us.

either way you will end up looking stupid. i, on the other hand, could really not care less about the readability of a sentence i wrote at 9am, especially since at least one person got what i meant by it.

thanks, hugs, bye.

Why would solid have to get e-mails from people's fnk profiles when there's like 20 threads devoted to the party on the board already

they'd do better doing radio ads on the beat or something

just replace the word "at" with the word "that", or take out "is promoting" and shut up. anyway, i'm sure you know what he was talking about.

besides, why are we changing the topic of the thread to bad grammar? i thought it was still about you being a dumbass.

i got spammed so many times while shit was going on for apex.

some of them went to my work account... I went ape-shit on the promoters, sending the spam right back at everyone.

Havent gotten anything since!

my advice.. be annoying as fuck back.. like get the mirc read me (its like 30 pages) throw it on there and add lots of highquality bitmap files..
