Really? I have to?
I suppose it's just coincidence that your IP address is just down the road
from the web site's? Surely you're not abusing Google's free and anonymous
gmail accounts to spam the newsgroups.
Oh, wait...that's right. You probably are. Go away. I guarantee you that
I, and probably most other people, will never do business with someone that
feels a need to lie about their promotion. |

To be fair, that blog-site does contain aviation training related
articles, and generally seems to promote becoming a pilot. |

I think that most posters here are of the mind that you are insulting
our intelligence. If you had come right out and been straight with us
from the getgo, the reception would have been warmer.

I don't care how useful it is. If the publisher has to lie just to get
people to see it, it's not deserving of any attention whatsoever.

where did i lie? I just left out information. |

Leaving out strategic information is the same thing.

I quote:
"I just read some great articles on flying, [...]
Here is the linky
http://www.aviation-pilot-supplies.com/"
You didn't "just read". You are the author of the web site itself, and you
are promoting a web site that is commercial in nature (filled with
advertising, and links prominently to an online pilot shop).
The web site wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the advertisements, and
the only reason you posted the link was in an attempt to drive traffic there
to increase your own profit. Furthermore, you were not even honest about
the nature of the web site, falsely implying that you happened across the
web site, rather than were the author yourself.
Frankly, there isn't a single aspect of your post and your behavior that
doesn't scream out "slimeball".
"Where did I lie?", indeed. Where *didn't* you lie? I guess you gave the
correct URL. But you didn't "just read" the articles, I *don't* have to
bookmark the site, and it's *not* awesome.

Neither would the AOPA site, probably.
Chalk it up as aggressive self-promotion in a world where, sometimes, that's
the only way you can get ahead. What flight school doesn't advertise, and
what advertisement doesn't spin the information to shed the best possible
light on its subject?
As a UNIX admin for a major network provider, I fight spam for a living as
part of my job, so I'm not out here making excuses for it. I think that the
articles would be interesting for beginning pilots and it's no more
commercially-oriented than the AOPA and other websites.
The subject was topical and honest (you can get articles on flying), the
website doesn't require a fee to access the articles, you're not hit with
pop-ups or other things, and the ads are just a sidebar. The only area of
concern are the tiny links that require you to register to read the
articles;
that is quite often a means of harvesting and reselling targetted e-mail
addresses. (If you register to an aviation website, your e-mail address is
valuable for mass-mailers because they know when the e-mail address was
entered--"freshness"--and they know your hobby or interest, which can be
used for a number of things.)
That's a little problematic, but, on the other hand, considering the sheer
amount of friggin' insurance policy junkmail I have to deal with from the
AOPA...

But the legit sites don't spam. There are web hosts that
run seminars on Internet marketing that teach suckers to use
newsgroups as advertising.
