Minnesota Recount

I was amused to learn than the Republicans, in the Minnesota senate
race recount, are trying to get disqualified any ballots that voted
both for McCain and Franken.

You need to either switch newsreaders or buy some reading glasses.

We were not amused to learn that you again posted a political
to cljp.

It is happening quite frequently now. Please find a way to
avoid it.

Roedy, what makes you think we care about your political beliefs? Don't you
realise that spamming is a criminal offence?

What I did is posting to the wrong newsgroup. Spamming is something
quite different. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/spam.html What I did
is not illegal, even if it were intentional.

If it were intentional, then it was most certainly spam in
the common meaning of the word.

It may or may not fell in under various spam laws - many of
them are focusing on commercial spam.

And knowing that it happen by accident frequently and not taking
action to prevent it is a bad as intentionally.
