Well RDJ only EVER posts about sites he's found hosted by limestonemedia.com and never replies to anything so IMHO he's just a Texan driveby spammer on behalf of Limestonemedia.

Is it really spam if there is no charge for the plans? I agree close, but don't put it exactly SPAM category.

Sure, if you have to wade through screens of ads and battle popups navigating through to the download. Free content is often just a means of getting faces in front of the paid ads.

Smells like spam, tastes like spam . . . .

Now if he had originally made a post like this:

Announce: New website - Make your own shop machines

We belive you will find a bunch of cool tooling info at http:// . All articles come from the 40s and 50s. There's even plans to make your own lathe, powered hacksaw, electroplating... The list goes on.

Hosted by Limestone Media.

and signed it giving his connection with the site and limestone media, AND ALSO stuck around and participated in discussion, THEN AND ONLY THEN he wouldn't be a spammer. Its too late now. I wonder if Limestone media know he's damaging their name and reputation?

Well, it looks like SPAM, but I liked the site. Nice looking, free plans, interesting projects.

Now you can shoot _me_. :-)

my apologies ... I thought this group would be interested in the site. No intention of being rude or stepping on a spamming policy.

Well, if the guy doesn't have the balls to just say "Hey, I put up a site with some net stuff of (description), come take a look" but instead pulls the shill/scam technique of "I just found", it immediately makes them suspect.

What the hell does on-topic have to do with something being spam or not?

Ah, easy solution to -that- getfirefox.com

Then why do the "I just found" bullshit tactic? Everyone recognizes it immediately, and insulting our intelligence isn't a good way to start. Also, your credibility is further damaged by the observation someone else made that this isn't a unique tactic for you to use.

What's the real deal here, Robert?

Yeah, I also checked it out. Not too many plans, but otherwise a good site.

I'd be more than cool with the whole deal if RDJ had simply said I own/represent/am affiliated with/a friend of----etc.----this web site and thought you guys might be interested. I'm simply not keen on anyone playing the innocent roll, as if they really just "stumbled into this neat site". If there's a charge, tell me up front. If not, tell me up front. If you're involved in it in any way, tell me up front. Reason? If I find that any of the above is true, and you've not been upfront with me, there's no way in hell I'll do business with you, and I'll tell everyone I know about you, all in a negative vain. I'll be the first one to mention that your word is worthless, that you're a fraud, a fake. Once people lose credibility with me, I'm finished with them, and that's irrevocable. I don't play mind games, and refuse to knowingly be a part of them. Further, I strongly resent anyone thinking they're so damned clever that than can bullshit me and I won't know the difference.

Well, for all you *really serious* people, I apologize, again, for insulting your sensibilities... Unlike what Rex has to say, there's over 100 vintage plans available and growing. There are *no* pop ups, pop unders, pop whatevers. The entire site is free. I own the site, and I thought that my post would not be annoying in the way posted.. I'm brought up not to "blow my own horn" and I am not a newsgroup reader, so I apologize for not understanding *exactly* what some people would like to see as a site announcement post.

So, take care, and I hope that you enjoy the site.
