No, I'm not jealous. I've done plenty of figure photography through the
years. His lack of understanding of light and form is apparent in his
images.

Apparently that went right over your head.

The number if lines in a signature is a standard set at ~4.

If you will notice that Morgan has not only URLs in that sig. but a mailing address and
phone numbers.  This helps to show the objective of the poster as using this News Group as a
marketing tool and thus spam.  You call me petty about the lines in a sig ?  You try Top
posting in some News groups and you'll reap the the real pettiness of netiquette.

The number of lines in the sig. all was added as a side note when I added that with "BTW:"
which means "By the way".  I mentioned that becuase weeks ago when I called out Morgan as a
spammer some clueless newbie suggested that I was spamming becuase I have two URLs in my
signature.  As I pointed out, and Julie confirmed, those two lines are within the Usenet
standard of four lines.  When you get down to it, the Charter does state "Posters are
expected to follow proper Netiquette".

You say I am obsessed.  I call a spade a spade.  It is simple.  Someone who continuously
posts the URL of a web site in a News Group on an almost daily basis and fails to enter into
any kind of discussions is a spammer.  Just sort the posts by the "From" field in OE and
look through all of his posts.  A quite consistent pattern since mid October.

The last time I commented was on 11/9.  More than a month ago.  In that time Morgan has
posted ~17 times with nothing more than "a new image" posting the "Dreaming Blue Fine
photography" web site.  Like I said in the beginning, that's what the Binaries hierarchy is
for.  You want to show off a picture and comments, post the JPEG in a Binaries group.  You
want to discuss photography, go to a photography discussion group.

You want to see appaeling photographs, great.  You see some really good ones in;
news:alt.binaries.photos.original  That's the objective there.  show pictures and get
comments.

You don't like the fact that I complained, killfile me and be done with it.  I'm not the one
spamming or abusing this group.  I am doing what we all have a right to do in a News Group
and that is to maintain it within the contstraints of the FAQ/Charter.  Maybe you would like
more newbies posting attachments in this discussion-only News Group, more Ed Conrad crap or
more Ronald L. Grossi Internet Evangelist BS.  I don't.  If it wasn't for people like me,
this and other groups would REALLY be flooded with this of kind BS.  Maybe you need to vist
a  alt.kooks  and learn about types like K-Man and Cletis.  You should be very happy their
likes are not HERE.

The fact is normally I don't reply to spammers.  However, once in a while I will tell
someone who spams who seems clueless about their actions and give them a chance.  I thought
that Morgan was intelligent enough to realize what HE was doing was spamming.  I guess I was
wrong and Morgan knows exactly what he is doing and it has been his objective all along.

I'll tell 'ya what Jeremy, show me a thread where Morgan entered into a Photography
discussion in this discussion News Group.  That's what we are doing.  We are discussing spam
in the group.  Morgan has even responded to deny or admit his objective of marketing the
"Dreaming Blue Fine photography" web site.
