How to spam for profit on usenet.
1. An overly familiar greeting to strangers.
2. A line like, "I just came across this neat sight" As if you "stumbled" upon it and just have to tell the world. 3. Post a generalized link to the site rather than a direct link to the subject at hand, forcing people to dig through the site (and the ads) to find the subject. 4. Use "cheers" as the post sign-off, it is the standard spam sign off used across usenet. |

While stumbling around the net, I came across this neat site (sight?): http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/faqs/spam.html and AFAIK, if you read through the article and check links to other related sites, then you'll probably find that this isn't a spam message.
