I am one of the biggest supporters of newsgroup based promotion, but I can say with great certainty you guys that don't know what you are doing are setting yourself up for big problems. Newsgroup nazis will at the very least get hosting shut off, if enough info is available they can get your connection killed, or worse. They won't take kindly to a bunch of spammers killing the groups

While newsgroup spamming is no where near as bad as email spam, most ISP's, and hosting companies fail to differentiate between the two, and will shut you off without warning.

You could risk getting into trouble legally as well.

I have been doing news promotion since 98, I've spent thousands on custom scripting to avoid the most obvious pitfalls, and the not so obvious ones. I know newsgroups backwards, and forwards.

A word to the wise... be careful. Take it from someone who knows.

Consider this a useful post from a goofy pirate minus the trip pictures.
