Re: [PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
With all due respect to everyone, including the alleged spammer, this has been my rule since '84. If you are in a discussion group, dont advertise something unless someone posts a question where a product would act as a specific solution to their specific need. The advertiser would then be expected to mention how exactly the product advertised affects the output of the question, or solves the problem posed by said question. Obviously, this thread should be either moved to another list or else just killed since spam has no direct links to PHP, nor did Rekall have any direct link to any question posed on the PHP general list. Ultimately, it is the list moderators responsibility to establish a set of core rules for interaction inside this 'virtual world' we all use to help others learn PHP. I do not know that this list has any core rules defined. On my lists, where rules are not defined, I just delete spammers without warning or notice, and furthermore ban that email address from the list permenantly. But then again, I am just oldschool BOFH from the eighties. I say let us allow this thread to die and/or let the owners/moderators handle it as they see fit. What if the alleged spammer is friends with Rasmus Lerdorf? Would that affect your opinion? Not mine, but just something to ponder as we allow the dead [posts] to rest in peace. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your level of reading comprehension is astounding. I'm hoping you were being deliberately obtuse when you ignored the part where I said "I'm not condoning posting ads to the list." You must have.

Re: [PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
IntrestingI have created 4 products that sell and a few scripts for free (which helped me learn php) plus I co-webmaster for 2 sites that sell scripts, around 40 of them totallycan i advertise for each of them here one by one or do i have to do it by website or all 44 at once?? I know the above question is really stupid as its totally unacceptable but in my opinion I think a person should be able to come here and announce his/her product/site if its beneficial to a lot of ppl... eg: the php classes site (excellient site) a php resource site a fantastic new editor, hopefully free (no offense ZEND :-) ) announcing something like "Rekall" to me does not qualify...but thats my opinion i am sure a lot of you will disagree with the way i see things.. just my two cents.

If you had actually read the reply, you would have seen that Steve was commenting on your declaring the list an "open-source" list, not saying it was fine for John to send his email to this list (or any other list). --- "Apollo (Carmel Entertainment)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, lets see.

Re: [PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
Well, lets see. I want free advertising too. How about I go to all the lists I am member of and send emails like John from Rekall did "announcing" widgets or services my company does. How will you react to that? We all have something to sell or advertise. Opensource or non-opensource, if you are charging for something you can not free-ride on free mailing lists, pay for adveritising. If something like that is tolerated, maybe I should start marketing my stuff on all the lists I am. > At 7/7/2003 03:07 PM, Apollo (Carmel Entertainment) wrote: > > > If you are charing for your product and your source is not open, you > have no place on > > opensource lists. > > Just out of curiosity, where did you get the idea this is an "open source" > mailing list?

Just out of curiosity, where did you get the idea this is an "open source" mailing list? There are plenty of commercial PHP products that have been mentioned and recommended by list members, including Zend products. I'm not condoning posting ads to the list the way John, but I think that declaring it an "open source" list will discourage people who have created PHP-based systems that aren't free or open-source from contributing. -- S.

[PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
STOP SPAMING the list. Is your product free of charge/ opensource? NO! If you are charing for your product and your source is not open, you have no place on opensource lists. This is 3rd list you are spamming. Somebody block this free-rider from this list. BTW, MSAccess can be had for less and you can run it via Wine on Linux with no problems!
