[Imc] Fwd: Re: posting at the U-C IMC

[Mike Lehman]

Just for the record, it was blatant advertising TWICE. He ALWAYS posts
the weblink to his homepage, which has the pitch for the book on it in
about four different places (not to mention the aggressive organ music
downloads.) And the postings are nearly daily. And while Paul
specifically addresses the spamming issue, he practically ignores it,
saying that we all should be glad to be spammed by him.

I hid this morning's post from him.
