Therefore, off-topic Usenet newsgroup postings can and often are considered to be a method of spam as it saturates the topic of the newsgroup to something that is irrelevant. It is strongly advised to find the particular groups that is generally specific to the matter in which you are posting to. If you are unsure, please be sure to ask questions in your first posting to the newsgroup.
