Henry,
Your motives are two fold, IMHO:
* You put lot of efforts in linking all negative stories about internet
under "Internet Mania" (or some thing close to that) in your home page and have recently posted on at least 4 leading internet companies thread (Yahoo, AMZN, Lycos, CMGI, we can see that from your profile page). So you do n't like internet and hence doing this service to all of us. I don't disagree that it is your choice. It will be more usefull if you discuss issues rather than give a link to your home page.

* The second motive is to get free advertisement to your web page by directing us to your web page. I already mentioned people doing this sort of things to our webmistress. Let us hope something good comes
out of this.

-Nat

>If CNBC does a segment and three companies are mentioned, putting a post up
>in each of the companies mentioned isn't spamming.

You're right, that isn't, however it also is not what you're doing. It appears that your sole purpose is to link your web site, which is advertising, and your multiple posting of the same, or similiar posts on multiple threads is spamming. No matter how thin you slice it henry, its still spam.

>The readers of those boards are very interested.

Based on what? Most of the comments I've seen have been the same as mine -- asking you to stop spamming SI with advertisements to your web site.

Stop the spamming henry.
