The speech users (comp.speech.users) group is a lesson in why
advertising is not allowed in USENET groups except those named
*forsale* and *marketplace*. 

Unfortunately, there haven't been enough regular authors to rein in
the spammers. 

Following are a few quotes from others directed to the malicious 
king-of-spammers Martin Markoe. I think they help illustrate the 
annoyance/frustration that advertising causes for ordinary/real users
looking for help on unmoderated USENET forums.

You are not a technologist. You sell microphones. 

Marty, how come whenever someone disagrees with you, you get into this
high school urinating contest mode? Actually I can't find your 
credentials anywhere either, except as a guy selling something. 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/473a2b3f9dd6a0f0?

Man you really are full of yourself! Just leave me alone. I asked you 
a question. Silly me, I wanted to know what I was buying before I 
bought it. How absurd! I then get email after email after email from 
you telling me that you won't answer my question and trying to justify
it. Lets cut the crap. You won't answer my question. I won't buy from 
you. So now go away and let me get USEFUL information from someone who 
will be honest with me instead of evasive, devisive and insulting!

More importantly I am not here touting my business. A position which 
makes anything you say suspect, doesn't it. 

I have been watching this group for a long time and you have managed 
to turn it into the eMicrophones, Inc. mail list. Almost no one with 
expertise posts here any longer. 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/6014c0e38032578f? 

Is anyone else beyond annoyed with the two pathetically desperate 
"small business owners" that have driven this group into the ground? 

I subscribed 6 months ago hoping to learn something about the 
"state-of-the-art" in voice recognition from the user's perspective. 

All I've managed to learn is that most users are apparently being 
ripped off by over-charging slimy weaseloid microphone hawkers. 

Martin Markoe and Mr. "speaktoyourpc.com", I beg you to consider the 
number of potential customers you're pissing off before you further 
demonstrate your witlessness by posting again. Your childish 
King-of-the-Group games should've stopped a loooong time ago.

Well said...Refreshing. 

[That in response to the prior message.] 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/ce73180162c1d199?

... dealing with you on the newsgroups is not an easy thing and most 
always turns into some type of flaming war. 

... you do get into fights with many regarding microphones and you do 
wave your website around more often than necessary and you don't 
always tell the truth about competitive products. 

I didn't respond because I simply did not want to get into another 
fight which is the reason my posts have been very light in the last 
few months. 

Here are my qualifications. Certified and trained for Philips 
SpeechMagic, IBM ViaVoice, IBM Medspeak, Kurzweil VoiceMed, Dragon 
NaturallySpeaking Enterprise & L&H VoiceXpress... So please, don't 
call me a "Charlatan" because it is simply not true. 

And believe me when I tell you that some users actually get better 
recognition from $20 headsets than with $100 headsets. 

I see vendors posting all the time and as long as you are not a member 
of the newsgroup, there aren't constant one-up battles. 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/a42c0234af3ebbef?

Martin, 

It is precisely this type of reactionary and vitriolic response that 
has prompted me to post to this forum. 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/ba6cc5fd879272fd?

After getting caught with his pants down regarding his so called 

privacy policy, Martin continues to make a complete ass out of 
himself. 

With this pattern of behaviour, the next step is usually 
stalking--email stalking (... to menacingly spread deceit) 

[An example of that is Martin Markoe's posting history within the last 
24 hours.] 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/84f362b69d93a460?

... you don't see the authors in all the newsgroups in a constant 
battle. Only with you Marty. 

You have left such a bad taste in my mouth about your constant 
bickering... 

I can't believe you are talking about spamming. I have seen posts from
you that link to as many as 8 direct links to your website (all in one
post) and your signatures fall within 5 or 10 lines long. In my book, 
that's called SPAMMING. 

If I recall, about 2 weeks ago, you claimed to have sold thousands of 
GN MPA Satellites. I know for a fact that is not true. 

This has become a game and if the flaming stops, perhaps we can get 
this group active again. 

Guess what Marty.... I have a life. I don't have time to live on the 
newsgroups as you do. 

This is the 2nd time you have mentioned me being moderated on user 
groups. Last time, you apologized about confusing me with someone 
else. YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL MARTY MARKOE. 

Marty, your constant abuse on these newsgroups... must come to an end.

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/5585a5e972b1cc1c?

I give up. I've dealt with delusional people like you before, and it 
leads to nowhere... you continue attacking people who are FAR more 
experienced and qualified than you, not to mention professional... 
You're a waste of bandwidth.
