: Sue, rethink the Cool + the Shoe phil knight had a dream. he'd sell shoes. he'd sell dreams. he'd get rich. he'd use sweatshops if he had to. (CHOMP) Hey guys, this is clearly spam, not related to skiing (Nike doesn't make ski boots that I know of) and definitely off-charter. While I may or may not agree with the sentiments expressed and I think posting a url might be OK, I don't think this post (and others like it) should get through. RW |

obski: So why doesn't Nike make ski boots? Since they don't actually "make" any of the shoes they sell (it's all subcontracted, they just put the swoosh on it and do the marketing) it wouldn't be that hard for them to paint a swoosh on a pair of $80 boots and charge $400. If it works for golf shoes, why not ski boots? I am sure it is coming, just give them some time to find an athlete to endorse, then they will start making the equipment. I think that is how they got into hockey... -- ----------------------------------------------- Chester Bullock, Tenxible Solutions Ethical, quality website design and programming http://www.tenxible.com AIM: tenxible Yahoo: ccb247 |

It is possible to spoof the moderation headers so that a post gets propagated without the appproval of the moderators. An aggressive spammer spoofing headers can go around the moderation, but the moderation team (or one of the usnet cancelbots) can cancel the posts, like they did with this one. I think I've seen half a dozen or so of these "rogue posts" on RSAM, but I haven't really been counting. To plug this hole would require reconfiguring every news server (and perhaps the nntp protocol) - I don't think much can be done on the stump end. Since it's just drive by spam it's not exactly the end of the world. Usually messages like this are cancelled fairly quickly and few people see them unless someone else is foolish enough to reply and include the original text. obski: So why doesn't Nike make ski boots?

They already endorsed Picabo Street a few years back. But they made some sort of hiking shoe for her, not a ski boot. bruno. |
