We offer a unique "instant online conversion" service, which converts your files
between most word processor, spreadsheet and graphics file formats, internet formats such
as HTML and XML (including to Microsoft Office 2003 XML), and also some data base formats.
It also performs letter-perfect conversion of almost any such file to PDF. IT CAN CONVERT
BETWEEN MORE FILE FORMATS, AND CONVERT MORE ACCURATELY THAN ANY OTHER ONLINE CONVERSION
SERVICE WE KNOW OF!
This service is available 24/7. There is no software to purchase, nor any subscription fee
or commitment. You just pay as and when you need to convert files. Converting a small set
of files costs as little as $9.
This is an easy-to-use and reliable conversion service. From the service's web page,
you click a "Convert" button, drag files to be converted into a dialog box that
appears, and enter payment information. Your files are then uploaded to our conversion
server, and in a couple of minutes the converted files are downloaded back to you.
It's as simple as that. The whole process is automatic and very easy to use. All
communication is encrypted and there is no security compromise. Please see
http://www.acii.com/online.htm for more details.
This service is particularly useful for conversions you run into occasionally, or for
which off-the-shelf conversion software is not available. We welcome you to give this
service a try. Please see http://www.acii.com/online.htm for a detailed listing of the
file formats, pricing and other details.
If you have any questions please let us know (simply respond to this email). To be removed
from this mailing list, please respond with the single word "remove" in the
subject line.

um.... and how is this relevant to the list? Seems like a plain old
file conversion spam, unless he's really saying he can convert my .d64
disk image into a ZIP file.

Seems to me that ACII is one of the old-time word-processor conversion
software vendors. Could be that they're just trying a new tack in a
business where most folks seem to use either MS Word or Wordperfect.
The service isn't going to be a lot of use for those DEC WPS I diskettes,
though...
Cheers,

You know, it's a great idea to insult the guy who moderates
non-subscriber messages onto the list...

I didn't insult him or anyone else, I asked how it was relevant to the
list and stated that it seemed like spam to me.
How you react is up to you. You could ignore my message and move on.
You could reply with how you thought it relevant. (I even provided an
'out' in my message of a situation where it would seem relevant to me.)
You could also disagree with my opinion that it seems like spam. All of
these would be constructive replies, but to erroneously claim that I
was insulting someone is just plain silly and not constructive. I
guess now you can claim I'm insulting someone if you find it insulting
to be called silly. Oh well. There's no right to not be insulted.
I don't even know if there is or isn't someone who "moderates
non-subscriber messages to the list". For all I know, like 99%+ of
the mailing lists out there, non-subscriber messages are automatically
treated as spam and discarded with no user intervention. That's how
all my lists are setup and from talking with other list managers and
being a subscriber on other mailing lists, this appears to be the
norm.
The "welcome" message for this list makes no mention of
non-subscriber message moderating duties, nor does the web page
<http://www.classiccmp.org/cctalk.html> discuss any such moderation
duties or persons.

I wasn't. I was attempting to point out that it may be better to ignore
such messages - in a non-exceedingly-verbose manner. Jay is rather
overworked as a list moderator (a topic which has been discussed in
detail on the list a few times now, and should be findable in the
archives).
