This bit of spam I don't get.
1. A bona fide HFI representative wouldn't be using a hotmail address
2. HFI should have no need to spam Usenet with this stuff and I can't
fathom them doing it

It's inconceivable to me that this spammer is even remotely associated
with HFI. What benefit could he possibly get out of this?

It could be a joe-job. Or it could be an enthusiastic but ignorant
junior member of HFI staff.

I find the information interesting and I post it here because it might
be of interest to other people.
What's the problem?

None of the above.

I sincerely fail to see what's wrong with the post.

Please, explain what it is that bothers you so much.

Because it's SPAM, that's why. And why would you post it unless you're
either a junior member of the HFI staff, or doing a joe-job?

I hope they can you.

Yea... right.

Someone who never posted in these newsgroups before all of a sudden
starts posting SPAM?

You must be a joe-jobber.

The explanation above looked pretty clear to me. Are you asking him to
repeat it?

It's unusual for people to read an ad for some arbitrary service with
which they have no affiliation and to be seized by the urge to place a
note about it in multiple Usenet newsgroups in which they don't
participate purely for the benefit of people they don't know. It isn't
unreasonable in these cases to suspect that the note is a more-or-less
disguised ad posted by a person who stands to benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the posting.

One time I saw a real idiot pull a stunt where he made himself out to be
an ordinary consumer just like us who had discovered this fantastic
product that he felt he had to share with us. He got really quiet after
someone pointed out to him that the message's headers revealed that it
had come from the very company that he was pretending only to have
happened upon.

No one. You never identified yourself in any way, which made it
suspicious from the get-go. If you were a regular in these newsgroups,
it would still be spam but the ensuing discussion probably would have
taken a different turn.
What's the problem?

Clue deficiency?

Besides the fact that your message is essentially unsolicted advertising
and as such is unwelcome here, it appears as if you signed someone
else's name to it.

Your IP indicates that you are located in Spain.

It's not just unusual, but rather unheard of. This sort of thing (to
this extent) is never done by a disinterested third party. There's
always a hidden agenda.

And then when I pulled a sarcy reply, I get a wonderful and highly
informative one back.

Hmm...

Believe or not the only interest behind the posting is nothing else

Glad you liked it.

Keep us posted on your progress.

BTW, Peter Gabriel is behind We7, and no, I'm not friend of his, I
wish I were ...

Just because.

Sorry, it's SPAM - plain and simple. See the FAQ's for the groups
you're posting in - most do not like ads.
Because I feel like posting it, that's why.

Typical response for a spammer - especially a stoopid one.

But your joe-job doesn't work.

It's NOT unsolicted advertising.

Of coruse it is. You did read the charters and/or FAQs of the groups
you posted to in order to check that advertising was permissible there
before posting, didn't you?

No, you didn't. And how do I know you didn't? Because at least one of
the groups you posted to forbids advertising. So in at least one of
the groups your post was unsolicited advertising.
Believe or not the only interest behind the posting is nothing else
than provide useful information.

Then do you now accept that posting it was a mistake and promise not
to do it again?
