My reply:

It is not out of NAFEX's control. Remember how we had a thread on this
on October 2nd, (I have enclosed a copy of my post below) and Dr.
Parmar's ridiculous reply insisting that it wasn't really spam. I
mentioned then if the list owner did not nip this in the bud this would
not only continue, but grow. Well it has grown, and I for one am fed up
with the "swami-from-a-far" peddling his goods(derogatory connotation
meant and not just implied).

I suggest you contact your Board of Directors for NAFEX and ask them to
officially reprimand his actions. And each and every one of you whom
are annoyed by this contact e-groups and file a complaint.

Wishing most of you the best(unless you are some spamming sob)

Gang:

Is it me or did Dr. Chiranjit Parmar just "spam" the entire list with the
post entitled "Information about non-commercial and lesser known
plants."?

One of the many positive things would state about this particular forum
is the remarkable absence of commercial or fee based service offerings.
We all know the Vorbecks have Applesource, Ed Fackler has Rocky Meadow,
Lon has his service and Nursery, Ozzie has his and so on and so on.
Based on the private placed solicitations I have received I would guess
that at least 200 Nafex members have commercial enterprises scaling from
hobbyist status to full time avocation, and yet to the best of my
knowledge all of them has shown restraint and not used this forum as a
advertising medium.

I would strongly suggest considering the ramifications of this. I am on
many lists, and the majority are plagued by commercial advertisements.
I would hate to see this happen in this forum.

I hope the list administrator will consider my words. And if he elects
to continue commercial ads on the list, sees fit to submit to the board
the prospect of collecting a nominal advertising fee.

Lastly I did not intend to illustrate Mr. Parmar's actions as
particularity offensive. I am using him as a mere example of something
I am greatly concerned with(after seeing several other forums go down
hill).

Very truly yours in growing all sorts of things to crunch and munch,

Kevin(the fluffy
bunny)Mathews
