According to the poster, you sent mail about your company's products
to him after he posted somewhere on some other topic, not solicting
such information.  Your posting does not dispute that.

Count me as one person who doesn't think posting on Usenet should
result in junk email from random hucksters.  Sending information
on something you can provide is useful if the poster asks for your
product.  But sending your mailing list information to people who
don't ask is a reprehensible practice that damages the free exchange
of information on the network.  Stop it.
