3 Net Send - Yet Another Type of Spam

Hey AntiMarketer,

There is always one Jerk in the Crowd and
AntiMarketer....CONGRATULATIONS...YOU ARE
OUR NEXT WINNER....or is that whiner!

Do you get off on putting people down with
children? I was simply stating a fact to
help the readers of this thread to get to
know me a little better and that I not some
freak or anything like that.

I do NOT use my children or family as a ploy
for a free ticket to use NetSend software.

I do not need it.

If you want to get upset at something then how about this. You purchased a computer with Windows already installed on it and MICROSOFT Enables{toggles ON} your NetSend Configuration as the default to be able to receive these messages.

Have an attorney contact Bill Gates or maybe they
are just a little to big for you to handle.

Everyone is picking on the little guys and not
one person so far has been able to show me a LAW or a REAL Definition of the word SPAM that has
NetSend or IP2IP Messenging mentioned in it one time.

I am asking this board to please use another term
other than SPAM when addressing this form of advertising.

The word SPAM is incorrect, go and see for yourself. Spam relates ONLY to EMAIL...period!

Spam - Definition at URL: http://www.whatis.com

How about Bologna that me be better....lol.

It has been great sharing with the rest of you.

I will return and post again shortly.

Happy New Year!

2 Net Send - Yet Another Type of Spam

Hello "Net Send" Fans...LOL,

It seems as though the Host of this site: Jian Shuo Wang, seems to think that I was a maybe a bit brash in my PRO - Net Send Letter that was posted on December 20th.

Jian's Reply:
It is true that I, and most of us, accept commercial on TV. Although nobody turned on TV just for commercial, we can accept it since it is still reasonable for the advertiser to pay for the movie. We see the movie since someone paid. It is the same for junk mail in my mailbox - I mean post-mail box.
END COMMENT

Contrary to popular belief, the Program to run a Net-Send Advertising Campaign is expensive to purchase and it is even more expensive to purchase a campaign of this nature through a third party to let them send it out for you.
So, in comment to your thoughts. This is in fact PAID ADVERTISEMENT! The cost of the program, set-up time, ad-trackers, auto-responders, and ultimately the time factor and band-width the system uses. I could really go on for a while
on the subject of (who is paying for what) but I will be nice and refrain from getting political here.

Additional thoughts: When I turn on my computer and log in through Internet Explorer or Aol or Compuserve, I ALWAYS have to delete all of the pop-up ADS that screem across my screen the first 15 seconds of signing on. I am sure this also happens to you and millions of others each day.

Question? Do you send complaints and threats to those ISP companies or do you just accept it? The answer is that you accept it becuse it is now considered normal...just like TV Commercials, just like Junk Post-Office snail-mail Delivery, just like UGLY Bill Boards on the outside of a traditional Business.

We must all learn to recognize that the Internet is now becoming a Traditional Business and will be here till the end of time.

People griped about ads going to their eMail Boxes and now we have a new definition for the word "SPAM" instead of luncheon meat. We also have another called "UCE" or Unsolicited Commercial EMAIL. The GOVERNMENT has stepped in and said that EMAIL ADVERTISING is not a good thing. There is no standard of Law nor any common law over this subject. It is simply the bigger ISP's that are scaring the little program owners with threats of blocking their servers out.
It makes me laugh when somebody that lives in Califronia threatens to call the Law on somebody that lives in Cambodia or China. It is so ignorant to think that they would have a leg to stand on! Headlines: "Man in Califronia Brings Suit to Old Woman in Cambodia that send him an email selling her recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies" Tell me this is not what is actually happening, it is true and it is truly funny to think about.

Come on people. This is not anything more than paid advertising, we just want a fair shake from the Internet Cooperate Giants that control the Internet with their HIGH - Out of our price range,
advertising prices.

Online advertising is getting very expensive and most of it makes claims that simply do not work at all.

The next time you receive a little pop-up window from one of the net-send users, please take a moment to check out what they have to offer and just consider it a commercial break from what-ever you are doing.

Also, there are a bunch of places on the Internet that you can download a tiny little program that will prevent you from ever receiving another ad of this nature again.

I hope that I was able to maybe shed some light on this subject and enable you to look through the eyes of an Online Marketer who earns just over $3,000 per month Online. This is my small income to support six children of which three are being adopted by my beautiful wife and myself.

Have a Blessed New Year!

POP-UP...LOL

1 Net Send - Yet Another Type of Spam

I have seen everything now. We have people that do not like eMail advertising and now they do not like a simple pop-up! Didn't they teach you in school to CLICK YOUR DELETE Key or that little x that is in the top right hand corner of the pop-up.

So, what do you do when you go to your mail-box outside of your home? Do you beat up the postman when he delivers a piece of junk mail or do you go to court because you received the latest sales flyer from Radio Shack or maybe you call ABC and NBC when your favorite movie is on TV and here comes a commercial. I think not! This whole Spam Issue makes me sick and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Let people advetise...there is nothing wrong with it...it is how you got your website on one of the top search engine pages....OH!, Maybe you forgot that!!!

Apparently you have way to much time on your hands to even think about putting others down for achieving more out of life.

It is simple....There are lot's of people on the Internet that are trying very hard to earn a secondary source of income while other people do absolutely nothing to help themselves to earn more money throughout the year.

If you are going to keep complaining about SPAM,
which NET SEND is NOT...DAHH!....at least have some common sense solutions to it all.

Please Remember to bring a SHOT-GUN with you the next time you are driving in a city and you see a sign on a building that is advertising that particular business and then take perfect aim and blow a whole in it. This way you can go to jail for a while and leave hard working people alone.

Get the point!

PS...How long will you leave this message on your board?
