I read several of the newsgroups you posted to, and the Fluke 9010
isn't relevant to any of _my_ interests, so perhaps your target
audience isn't quite as broad as you think it is.
---
Well since I inadvertently used the phrase 'anyone reading' I have
to give
you the point here. Nevertheless if you werent trying to prove a
point, you
would have to agree that CPU emulators and testers are very relevant
to the
intersts of MANY of those on these groups.
---
Perhaps to the denizens of the gaming groups, but to the other
groups to which you posted, I'd guess not. Moreover, I don't think
anyone designs with 6502's or 6800's or any of the target processors
your widgets support, any more, so your market seems to be limited
to those folks repairing video games and supporting older
microcontrollers.
---
But, more to the point, the charters of the sci.electronics.*
newsgroups specifically state that they aren't intended to be used
as kiosks.
Of course, since there's no legal way to stop you from posting what
you want to you can violate the spirit of the groups
John - be honest here - no real disrespect (well, maybe a bit)
intended - do
you not have better things to do with your time than seek out those
who
allegedly violate an intangible and reprimand them? From your more
than
ample self-trumpeting, your mind is a veritable cornucopia of useful
and
profitable circuits; should you not be looking to cultivate that
very
fertile field for the good of mankind, or at least to make a living?
---
Lurk around sci.electronics.* and alt.binaries.schematics.electronic
for a while and you might find that I do pro bono work which, I
hope, is helping mankind.
Making a living I'm not so concerned with, since my needs are
relatively simple and there's enough money coming in to take care of
them.
---
and use them to
try to find happy homes for your widgets, but the fact remains that
the only time you show up is when you want to sell something.
That is because I dont have any need to pick the brains of those on
the
groups (not that I am learned in their fields, simply that I dont
practice
in them; absolutely no disrespect intended to the very many on those
groups
with skills and education that no doubt would put mine to shame).
I show up to sell because there are people there who buy; even the
most
erudite of circuit designers needs a pair of dikes now and then.
---
If only to watch... But, nicely put.
---
You don't participate in any discussions, you don't present any
technical issues, and you don't ever show up unless you've got some
stuff you want to get rid of.
Not SPAM? I don't think so.
Well John thats whats great about America - we can all have and
express our
opinions freely, as wrong as I think yours is.
---
Well, of course you have to say that, and wave the flag a little to
make it all seem real, as seen from your side.
If you didn't, you'd have to admit that you're placing ads where ads
aren't welcome, and concede defeat. No?
