In case you haven't heard by now, posting inappropriate messages to mailing lists is considered VERY offensive, and an intrusion on people who wish to use the mailing list for its intended purpose. In addition, it imposes additional expense on those who pay for their mail traffic, and an expense on backbone services maintained by fragile agreements. The offense is compounded by your irresponsible use of the BITnet, which by agreement among its participants is limited to academic and research purposes only, a requirement which our list satisfies, but your posting emphatically does not. Messages posted to Lojban List are distributed partially using BITnet services, and your message constitutes a blatant violation of the BITnet Acceptable Use Policy. Due to your ill-considered action, the status of the very mailing list you used to disseminate your commercial message may be at risk. There are many acceptable media for electronic commerce. You may set up an FTP or WWW site, or post to a Usenet newsgroup in the biz.* hierarchy or in certain mainstream newsgroups set aside for the purpose. Please take the minimum effort to understand the ethos of the Net before repeating your efforts. Thank you for your future cooperation. -- John Cowan sharing account for now e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
