I don't question the relevance of the site - as I said, I love it, I used
it, it's great! I just wonder if it could be deemed as Spam or not. The
point that I'm making - is it considered Spam as defined to what Spam is. If
we start to stray from the point of the post - things get clouded.
As I quote a line from "Star Wars -- Stay on target, stay on target"
Best regards,
Chris
