I am not mistaken at all and the use of hyperbole (2 billion)
doesn't make your point .
A post that piques the interest of even 50 people in an NG is a valid
one. No doubt some people would be annoyed about a job posting of a
Python vacancy... others would be interested in it...

You obviously do need it given your improper quoting and attributions.

Well, if we're starting on the Vorlon quotes, this one seems germane:

Not taking a position for or against the original post:
Everytime this comes up, on any group, one little annoying
post results in and endless discussion and sometimes
hurtful flame war.
Perhaps the rest of us should let the moderator handle it
and get back to something interesting, like Python.

It was not taken as hate mail. I think Lucas got it spot on.
Thank you for the long lecture on netiquette which I didn't really
need.

Take a look at http://www.templetons.com/brad/spamterm.html

If I had posted or invited the group to look at my full list of items
rather than just the python book link then I could see where you are
coming from.
If my intention was to "spam" this NG then the complaints as they were
phrased would only have served to make me more determined.

The reason people jumped on you is that historically groups get overrun
with "just one ad" posts, and there goes the neighborhood.

I thought that posting a link that contained the word ebay and a
subject title of Python Developers Handbook conveyed all the relevant
information and didn't want to patronise the NG.
I have had 110 hits on the item but seem to have upset 3 people.

Thank you. I have taken on board your input.
The link is to an item on ebay entitled the Python Developers Handbook
by Andre Lessa. The starting price of the auction is 5 pounds and costs
5 pounds to shipping as it weighs 1.6kg. The book was published in
2000, it's ISBN is 0672319942 RRP $

I am somewhat nonplussed that the opportunity to buy a Python book
cheaply is off limits for this NG. There have been alot of hits and as
there are very few Python books listed on Ebay I presume they came from
here.

Are you the seller flogging his item? We really don't need every auction
listing for Python books copied to this forum. Please don't repeat.
