Andy, At risk of beating a dead horse even more I will try to clarify what "people" consider "spam".
The asterisk-biz list is the correct place to post Asterisk related software, hardware, and services. That being the case, a GSM gateway hardware posting here is not considered spam. It can be used in an Asterisk and be very useful in an Asterisk setup. In some war torn parts of West Africa (and I suspect many other places) cellular is the only operating phone service. Now, if he posted about a GPS solution that has absolutely nothing to do with Asterisk, that would be spam, whether he made his own thread or hijacked someone else's. If he posted the same thing every day, multiple times a day, that would be frowned upon too. Finally, if he used some sort of software (or even by hand) to harvest email addresses from this list and sent emails directly to the recipients, bypassing this list, that is definitely considered spam and probably generally considered the worst kind. Spam post test: 1. Does it relate to Asterisk somehow? (Yes, continue. No, spam) 2. Are you posting the same thing repeatedly? (Yes, spam. No, continue) 3. Are you collecting email addresses and emailing people directly? (Yes, spam. No, Continue) I think it may be as simple as above.
