 Advertising is prohibited on most newsgroups.  Check the charter before 
 advertising in ANY group - no matter what the group's topic and your 
 product.  The exception is that advertising is welcome in newsgroups that 
 end in ".marketplace".  Someone who has been on the 'net for a long time 
 should know that. 
  
 What you did was advertise where it is not permitted - unsolicited 
 advertisements sent to someone's email address are spam, this is no 
 better than that. 
  
 Thankfully there are plenty of places to buy caviar that do not spam.
