This is not an attack on this sender per se, but on the people who send out
'please buy my xxxxx box' type articles in general.

Why, oh why, do people not realise that comp.sys.atari.st is an INTERNATIONAL
news forum and it is highly unlikely that people outside of their locality
will want to buy what they are offering.  In the UK we have a distribution of
'uk' to restrict where articles get sent to - I assume there are similar
country and county/state sized distributions in the rest of the world.

It's not too much to ask is it ... ?
