WIND recommendation not spamming or pimping. Simply making software and other investors aware of a bargain which I have been watching for some time now.

When you post the IDENTICAL information to multiple threads regardless of appropriateness, it's spamming. If you'd bothered to tie it into MSFT somehow, that'd be different.

A good post on WinCE vs. WIND would be:
- interesting
- on topic
- a chance for people to learn something

Yours was none of the above.

"Simply making investors aware" - 'American Spirit' - do you understand the definition of SPAM????? When you post the exact same message across many boards - you are spamming - pure and simple. I guess every spammer can claim that all they do is "make investors aware".

I resent spamming. To say that I can skip your posts is not satisfactory. When I get spam email, I get PO'd - even though I can delete them.

You are spamming. Spamming is annoying. Get that through your head.

You established your profile recently. Please try to understand SI policy on spamming. Nobody here wants to turn this into the yahoo boards. We pay good money to keep scam artists and stock hypesters from pimping their product here. If you have trouble understanding that, I'll be happy to report you to SI, and they can explain their policy to you much better.

Multiple postings are fine IMHO

IMNSHO, they're not. Spam is spam. And simply not allowed here, which is a big part of what separates this site from others.
