Hi Ted,
Just wrote a book called "Want Great Kids? It takes Good Parenting!"

Hi, Penny!

I just wrote a post called "Want Great Newsgroups? It takes telling commercial
posters to blow off."

Hope you'll like it.

Cheers,
Banty

Well aren't you the pleasant parent. Some of us have information to
share that is valuable. Be glad to help you too!

You do realize that advertising is off limits according
to this group's charter, right? And that you've hawked the
book in several messages already. Violating an established
group's conventions is hardly the way to win friends and
customers.

Best wishes,
Ericka

That's what all the spammers and telemarketers say. "Some (small) portion of
our targets want the stuff."

As opposed to someone who assumes, for example, with no
actual knowledge of the situation, that a particular set of
parents is "buying" friends for their kids?

Several people on this newgroup have valuable information to
share. Nobody who has tried to use the group for cheap
marketing purposes has lasted. Which category do you fall
into?

I thought I did have valuable information to share. I hope I helped
the person who asked the question. As for everyone else. Let me be
the first to apologize if I offended anyone. But as I tell my kids,
there is a nice way to tell someone. Again, so sorry.

It wasn't actually terribly useful: one child misbehaves, and the other
is punished as well?

Agreed. it wouldn't take some children long to work out that there were
times it would be worth being punished for the other one to be too. (ie if
you're both sent to your room and your brother is watching his favourite TV
programme and you're in the middle of something in your room it could be
worth it!!)
