Re: Annc: Bookmark Design Contest

I have to agree with Jeff, spam is usually trying to sell something...or at
least promote a business, letting people on a graphics list that there is a
contest where they get the money (not pay any money) is something I would
have shared too, if I had found out about it first.  & you can bet that I
sent off the URL to my graphic artist friends who I thought talented enough
to compete.  If this were a list about how to ride a horse, announcing a
horse show wouldn't be spamming, especially if it is free to enter.
Secondly, using rude language doesn't help anything.
Thanks for letting me say my piece on this,
much alohas from Maui...

1. IMO, this is not a clear case of spam.
2. If Robert has an affiliation with the company, he should state so;
and in that case, maybe should not post the message. If he doesn't
have an affiliation, it would be nice for him to also state that.
3. A measure of decorum should be considered when posting criticisms.
