"Judy" said in rec.pets.dogs.breeds:

Then the "promoter" is not doing them any favours by
multi- posting to the newsgroups.

True dat.

Maybe I'm too cynical. But the poster pushed too many buttons:
multi-posting with an anonymous-looking address and a reference
to a home page. Plus, no past contributions to the groups.

(Hint for future non-spammers-with-a-legitimate-promotion: Don't
do this.)
