How can this be abuse?

Every group it went to is relevant, and can be used in conjunction with an
IPAQ.

Nokia Phones and Bluetooth adaptors are widely used with IPAQ's.

But I guess some people like yourself have so little to do with there lives,
that they feel that complaining is important.

....as it happens, I think it's quite funny cos it's not my sale, It is just
one that I saw on eBay and thought I would share it with other newsgroups
readers as I thought it was a potential bargain.

So - no skin of my nose! Sorry to the genuine person making the sale thought
that some kangaroo lover felt the need to moan.

Well, it's off-topic for starters, and also eBay specifically prohibits
spamming the newsgroups with their auctions.

Rubbish.

So what? By extension of your logic, a set of screwdrivers would be
relevant because they potentially could be used to dismantle a Nokia phone.

And some people would rather clutter the group up and waste bandwidth
spamming their auctions.

Yeah, right, of course you did.

BTW, please don't top-post.

Fair enough, I didnt know eBay didn't like this. Not many people read
through
all the "small print", probably cos many people use computers/internet to
enhance there life, instead of others who computers/internet cos its the
only life they have.

Tell me which group wasn't? In order to expand an IPAQ to enable it to be
used with all its feature, Mobiles etc are a major part of this. And as
these groups are used by these people, surely that is the best place to
highlight this.

I wouldn't go into a car newsgroup and advertise a screwdriver for sale even
though it can be used on a car, but I would probably advertise a set of
wheels or a radio!

Well it would be an ideal world if the only things listed in a newsgroup
where the exact things we all wanted, but peoples needs and wants vary.

But to those people who, in this case, where looking for an IPAQ, I'm sure
they were glad to here.

I bought my IPAQ from eBay late last year, a newer model than the one
advertised. This is just one that I spotted which has a full setup.

If I spot anything else there that I think is relevant I will also post.

BTW, try talking to different levels of internet user. I'm sure there are
many new people looking at Newsgroups that don't know words such as "Top
Post".

Got to go now.

Here's a few dirty words to get you all excited and turned on. Processor,
Gigabyte, Pentium.

..... Look out the window, there is life outside of your computer.

Then maybe they should start before their accounts get terminated.

Did you manage to come up with that one all by yourself?

No it's not. Altough adverts aren't prohibited in the charter of ACN, they
are at the very least frowned upon. If you want to post adverts, post them
to an adverts newsgroup. Many people read the cellular groups on cellular
devices and have to pay for every byte they download. If everyone took your
approach, the group would be full of bandwidth wasting adverts. Have some
courtesy for other people.

And you'd get shouted down the minute you tried if the group wasn't set-up
for adverts. At the end of the day, the Ipaq has absolutely nothing to do
with Nokia mobile phones.

And that's exactly why newsgroups are set up relating to the wants and needs
of the people who set them up and use them regularly. Again, this is not an
appropriate place to spam your junk.

Most people looking for an Ipaq would have the brains to look in either an
Ipaq newsgroup, Ebay, or online shop. Again, what has an Ipaq got to do
with Nokia mobile phones?

If you say so.

So you'll incur more and more abuse reports until your ISP finally gets sick
of receiving them and does something about it like terminating your account.
Have some manners for the other users of the group and you may earn a little
respect someday.

Well obviously you understood it, so it was worth pointing it out. Thank
you for not top-posting.

Really? Gosh, and here's me never realising that!
