(Call me a NetCop if you like, I can take it. If someone doesn't clean up the little messes as they happen, they tend to grow.)

We have several working Toyota Master Diagnostic Technicians participating in the Toyota related newsgroups, as well as a retired District Service Manager (I think that's the right term, Ray...) who spend a little of their day steering people with problems in the right direction - but other learned answers are always appreciated.

If you want to join in the community discussions here by answering relevant questions that come up, and you just happen to have a related mention of your dealership in your 'signature file' (the blurb at the bottom of your posts), that's okay.

Hang out here for a while and see how it works BEFORE you make trouble for yourself - and by association, the dealership.

You are free to have an opinion, and express it of you like, but mark it OT for Off Topic. You are free to respond if someone is looking for a somewhat rare model and you want to tell them you have five of them on the lot (What color did you want?) and they're not too much over sticker.

If nothing else, car salesmen are fun to beat up on a little... ;-P

Otherwise, I'm close enough to be a Sales customer of your dealership (and I have been a Service customer on several occasions) but I can also choose to NOT be either anymore. Hint.

And Google Groups / Gmail takes a very strong stand against spamming, too. They might not appreciate you doing it through their systems, and using their e-mail address for replies either. Double Hint. (This also counts when posts arrive here through an alternate portal like echoforums or talkaboutautos.)

may also have problems with you spamming to get traffic to that webpage, and they usually have in their contract the power to pull the plug on it. Triple hint.

You get a pass this time, because you probably had no idea there are actual people reading this stuff, with feelings and all - but I can just as easily turn those hints into a big bushel basket of trouble.

Posted in alt.autos.toyota and a courtesy copy E-mailed to the author, just in case he doesn't read responses in the newsgroup (which in itself would be a very bad sign...)

*snipping great info from Bruce*

I doubt this is an isolated incident, but it's good that you're giving this person the benefit of the doubt.

Yup

The District Service Manager part is correct, although I changed career paths, not retired yet...

I saw that, but I didn't say anything at the time. Note I mentioned both the posting hosts for the two, and copied the reply to both of the e-mail addresses given.

And if they don't respond and/or keep spamming, I'm only about 15 miles away. I can march into the dealership, ask to see the General Manager (I think it's a Corporate store, no "Owner") and present my case in person. That tends to get their attention...

u must be joking? it's a toyota newsgroup, and the post is about a toyota echo. Even if it's abit of free advertising, it's still much more inline with toyota then %90 of the garbage floating around in this group.

What you say is true but think about this for a moment...if it became accepted procedure then we'd have absolutely NO bandwidth to do as we do now would we?...the group would be taken over by ADVERTIZING!...(spam).

YOU GO BRUCE!!!...good man...
