   #1: It isn't "spam". It is an advertisement for a stamp show, soemthing that   
   falls well within what is normally acceptable in a STAMP newsgroup.  Yes,   
   yes, provided it doens't have a Charter that specifically prohibit such   
   advertisements.   
      
   #2: This is a non-Chartered group, making it even more difficult to define   
   what is or what isn't acceptable than if it were a Chartered group.   
      
   #3: It was so obviously hype as to even get through to the most stupid and   
   naive of readers. "Actionable"? Give me a break! But, for the sake of fun   
   and frivolity, why don't you provide two humans on the planet who are goign   
   to the show expectign to receive 100% catalog value for their stamps. Just   
   two our of all these billions.   
      
   #4: I'd love to knwo whether this is a personal disagreement or not. It has   
   all the earmarks of one.   
      
   HAND :-)
