- John makes a good point, that the organizational limits on commercial
- use of the net (what net?) are fading.
-
- What it comes down to now is ettiquette and proper place.
-
- biz.announce.new-cons is the place for long ads recruiting suckers
- for your new quick-get-rich scheme. misc.entrepreneurs is not.
-
- talk.politics is the place to post your 30,000 word diatribe about
- exploitation of Venusian bridle makers. misc.entrepreneurs is not.
-
- alt.conspiracy is the place to inform the world about the secret
- plot of the Venusian bridle makers to take over the entire carriage
- industry. misc.entrepreneurs is not.
-
- misc.religion.proselytize is the place for your prolonged plea for
- people to recognize Zoroaster as saviour or else be damned. misc.
- enterpreneur is not.
-
- Otherwise, stick any of the above in your 4 line .sig file, and post
- something relevant on misc.enterepreneur.
-
- What happens if you ignore ettiquette? Probably nothing, other than
- some polite (the first time, anyway) e-mail from myself, requesting
- that you not do so.
