Good morning W54/XM-388,
I appreciate you having written in. Your having written in provides me with an opportunity to reach readers than I would have been able to otherwise, for which I am grateful.
It also allows me to provide correction to your incorrect assumption that I spammed when in reality... you spammed.
I'd like to invite you to review the definition of "spam" with me.
"Spam" as per the MERRIAM WEBSTER'S dictionary:
Spam:
"unsolicited usually commercial messages (such as emails, text messages, or Internet postings) sent to a large number of recipients or posted in a large number of places."
You may find this information here:

In your reply you state that I was the one who is spamming.
You are incorrect.
I posted a thread that was sent directly to
no "large number of recipients." I did not send a post directly to anyone. I sent it to a forum and each individual who replied to this thread deliberately decided to interact with me and with others...
I posted a thread to this forum and another. In no one's mind is that posting in a "large number of places."
Therefore, according to the Merriam Webster's dictionary, I have not spammed.
Again, I appreciate you having written in. Your having written in provided me with an opportunity to provide some clarification regarding the process of spam and that engaging in two forums where no individual in particular is contacted is not "spamming."
I especially appreciate your reply because it allowed me to show that when a post is written where each individual who is reached is only reached after they make a conscious, deliberate decision to engage in the forum... is not spamming.
Respectfully,
Krieger
