That's about a point when this thread becomes annoying.
This is going to be my last post on this topic.
Jeff,
I'm glad you've read through the spam definition page. But looks like
you didn't get it, did ya?
It says:
"Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more
Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have found
that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant
to most or all of them.)"
I hope that you eventually understand that I posted it to carefully
selected groups that discuss very related product(s).

What can I say? Those are just groundless words. I tried and it
worked. I'm not going to run around gathering signatures of all users
who are able to start an application. Look, everybody has different
computer skills. Some need more time, some need less. Some users are
patient, some are not. That's why companies have pages like "Help"
and "Contact us" on their websites. But not everybody wants to get
help...
Besides, spammers never answer to you...
Thanks for keeping up this conversation for so long. :)
P.S. Also thanks for not accusing me for the spam when I mentioned
www.dictionary.com in my previous message. :)
