The "Dealing with Spam" post was in response to a SPAM post that had just
come though on theforge.  

Someone had signed on, and then used the forge list to broadcast a
commercial message. (If memory serves me right, this one was a cold call
investment broker claiming to know somebody on the list (doubtful) the post
was so out of character it had to be spam) One of the best responses is to
send copies of such to the postmaster of the offending poster's server and
object. In many cases this will get him thrown off the server, his account
canceled, iff enough people complain. The rest of the post dealt with other
ways to deal with junk mailers, and usenet spammers.

There are forums for commercial use on the web. The Forge is not one of them.

Free speach is not an excuse to dump garbage in your neighbors yard.
