You've posted this to at least four separate groups. Please investigate
cross-posting, rather than multi-posting.

Or, are you spamming for this comode company?

Probably, knowing Shaggy......but it is "commode". Merkins can't spell
worth a damn, lol.

Cathy,

I agree with the link you provided, 4 years ago! Currently I have a
different opinion about cross-posting because of the horrid increase of
Usenet spam...

Some newsreaders have the ability to block cross-posters! My feeling
is spammers are 95 - 97% of the cross-posters, so a newsreader that
filters/blocks cross-posting like agent and x-news are good.

My opinion, but this message appears to be the registrant, their
employee or a hired spammer implementing their newest spam-marketing
plan.

If the message contained more specific questions, other than the
general question that was provided, and the posters using a weblink as
the main subject is the reason I have formed that opinion.

Cross posting was a great method of cutting down bandwidth use, it is
still a wonderful method, but this Usenet feature is the spammers’ gift
horse.

really was *cross*-posted?

I'll agree with that.

Cross posting was a great method of cutting down bandwidth use, it is
still a wonderful method, but this Usenet feature is the spammers¢
gift horse.

Real newsreaders generally have the ability to filter out posts that are
cross-posted to more than N groups. I have mine set to 3. They also will
normally only show it to you in just one group, so you do not have to
read it three times or more.

Hey! That *was* intentional. The subject only has one "m", so that is
how I spelled the "comode" ... This Merkin can speel gud.

I knew that.....but couldn't resist the chance to tease you. And yes,
you probably even know that the proper spelling for color is "colour"

I doubt it. Melih doesn't strike me as the sort to stoop that low.
Besides which, he has a lot of enthusiasm for his own product, so if he
were going to hawk his wares, he'd do it directly, not rely on a
go-between.

All the products she's asking about are totally free programs, not trial
versions. He does have products for which he charges--one of which I
use--but you can't call it spam when it isn't commercial.

All that said, as I understand it, the antivirus program needs work.

I'm using the free firewall version 2 and it seems to be very good imho
on my xp home edition. I've had now for since version 2 first came out.

Good Grief!

A co-worker had told me about this review:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1969225,00.asp

I have seen many other free security programs discussed in the past, but had
never heard of Comodo. I was just wondering if these were new products,
weren't worth using, curious of some of your "expert" opinions etc.

My initial inquiry was ignored on some newsgroups, and received snippy
comments here.

Sorry to have bothered you!

Good Grief!

Hi Cathy,
I replaced ZoneAlarm Free with Comodo Personal Firewall after problems
with ZA. I think it's far, far better than ZA.
About the Antivirus: Comodo itself says it needs still work, so...

Don't know why you got those other strange reactions. Some people here
really don't seem to like Comodo, for whatever reason...

Beauregard,

Setting your blocking of cross-posting must realy work if you are not
seeing this increase of Usenet spam marketing...

Immediately below is the Header of a "bassett" a troll that I could use
some help with... I do not subscribe to the statement everyone needs
a troll, yet he follows me, locating where I post and posting off topic
info...

This is the one header of an off topic photo spew in all the
cross-posted newsgroups... It appears he captured some porn crossed
thought the copyright holder logo/URL and posted it to the bodypaint
and cross-posted to other newsgroups to continue to irritate me...

I have sent a number of spam complaints and telephoned Bellsouth, but
the Usenet spam marketing never hesitates... I can only guess
Bellsouth’s header is obfuscated, or Bellsouth is protecting this
spammer.

We host over 550,000 email accounts on over 100,000 domains, most with

a base for their domains. We are very unfriendly toward spammers and
remove them immediately, once it has been verified that they are
intentionally abusing the Internet. The primary forms of abuse that we
do not tolerate are unsolicited commercial email or Usenet spam, either
using their domain or directing users in any way to their domain and
assisting spammers with tools, email lists, etc.

Ok, now you are not talking about spam and spammers. A troll who follows
you is not a spammer, he's a troll. Completely different subject.
Spammers post messages looking for financial gain, to sell something. A
troll is just a Grade-A nuisance. If you reader is capable, set it to
auto-delete all posts cross-posted to more than three groups. Ignore the
troll.

I would presume you have your cross-posting blocker set at three so you
