Why post this here on a conservative political forum? Trying to confuse potential contributors as to what this site is about?
Not like there is a lacking of "tech" sites for those so inclined. Too much clutter here to begin with for this crap.
Please do not try to compete with the rainbow fruit crowd, they piss of enough people.
I acknowledge your comment and point of view.
FreeRepublic has large areas of interest that are not political -- science and astronomy, motorcycles, dogs and cats, a huge variety of hobbies, sports, etc. -- and FReepers enjoy being able to get info and news, and converse about these non-political topics in a reasonably polite, conservative atmosphere with others sharing those interests.
A great number of FReepers are technically inclined with regard to their computers, and a majority use Windows and other Microsoft products.
The Windows Ping List that I run has over 100 FReepers who like to hear about Windows and Microsoft news.
This list (and I) are not "competing" with anyone. We are interested in things having to do with Windows and Microsoft, that's all. So I respectfully disagree that this is "spam". It's on-topic for the Windows Ping List. You're of course entitled to see it another way.
OBTW, the reason for my comment #4 above about GLEAM was that I made a somewhat obscure reference in comment #3 to Microsoft having flown the gay rainbow flag over its building, and thought it would be useful to give the reference, for the folks who didn't know about it and might question it.
Spam, eh? Tell me do you pop into all of the Apple posts and feed them the same gripe or is it just Microsoft posts you show up to bitch about? I have seen many posts that I personally have no interest in but don’t feel the need to drop in and bitch about it. If you’re not interested just don’t get involved is what I say, admittedly after involving myself.

Same reason Swordmaker posts 1-5 Apple press releases every single day.
