Hello all!

I'm new to the group. I stumbled across the group while looking for
appropriate places to post our search for distributors for our new business.

I see a lot of you are interested in smoked meats. Have you ever tried
smoking the BEST of the best salmon available.

We've acquired the right to purchase a part of EVERY order that is prepared
for export by a Canadian, family run, fishing cooperative near Wrangell,
Alaska! They usually export ALL of their #1 Wild Sockeye Salmon to Europe
or Asia. Well, not any more!

Anyone interested?

Best fishes,

George

This is Usenet. Your posting of an advertisement here is in violation of
your terms of service and this newsgroups' charter. You have been reported
for your post and you're not welcome.

Understand that?

1. Commercial messages and advertisements are prohibited by the
charters of most newsgroups, including the charter of this newsgroup.

2. Nathan accused you of spamming, and complained about it to your
ISP. Spamming is posting essentially identical messages to many
newsgroups, or posting many copies of an essentially identical message
to one newsgroup. Google shows that you've posted an essentially
identical message to a half-dozen newsgroups. Whether your ISP
considers that spamming is up to them to decide:

From the telus Acceptable Use Policy:

"Posting, uploading, reproducing, distributing, otherwise
transmitting, or collecting responses from unauthorized or unsolicited
duplicative e-mail messages, junk or bulk e-mail messages, chain
letters, newsgroup postings or other "spam" (TELUS reserves the right
to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a message constitutes
"spam")"

3. Stop top-posting.

A: It reverses the natural progression of a conversation.
Q: What's wrong with top-posting?.

I'd give him credit for ignorance of usenet protocols, and heck, he did ask,
and not rudely either.

Salmondude, you can email me if you want more info. But basically commercial
advertising is verboten in most of usenet.

You want to participate here and have your business info in your sig, that's
a different story.
But participation means participation, not a one line response as an excuse
to advertise:
"Did you say fire? Why our fresh frozen salmon sure is good cooked over a
fire!" Woudn't cut the mustard, knowwhatimean?

Thanks guys,

I wasn't aware of the "rules" here. In my enthusiasm to tell people about
our new business, I guess I kind of leapt before I looked.

Sorry about that.

I have found the conversations here interesting. (even the beating I've
taken) But if I'm really not welcome here... I'll go away...

Speaking for myself only, you're welcome to talk about BBQ, smoking fish,
whatever is on-topic. We have a lot of discussions about barbecuing and
smoking salmon. You as an individual are welcome. We discuss products that
have to do with barbecue. You can promote a product or a cause in your .sig
file (as I do below). Commercial promotion is not welcome, though.
