Mine too, can you help ?

Response:

Stacy: I take offence that you’re spamming your ad in inappropriate newsgroups. What does computer consulting have anything to do with automobiles? I’m sure that there is a group for PCs or for Windows where you could peddle your services. It’s bad enough we get inundated with phone sex ads — we don’t need another person who does not understand Netiquette. In any case, why should I hire you for your services if you can’t take care enough to ensure your ad is correctly spelled?
