Ruben, you are showing extremely bad manners, and not picking up on the 
polite hints others are giving you, so let me spell it out:

Sending the same message over and over was bad.  You say it was a 
mistake.  Fine.  Now you're forwarding other people's mail to this list, 
whom I doubt very much you asked permission from first, on the very same 
event.  With no useful content.

Another point on netiquette: The email you forwarded has other people's 
personal email addresses in it, which is bad form, as it opens them up 
for spamming.  In the future, please strip those out.

We now all know about the event.  It takes place hundreds of miles from 
where our group is based.  Advertising the event on the BLU list is much 
appreciated, and I'm sure there are a few people on it who would be 
interested in going, but please offer a mailing list or website 
interested parties can refer to, then trust that those people will use it.

I am an officer in BLU, but I am asking you as a list member to be more 
considerate, not as an officer.


Thanks.
