Seems like this group has been invaded by the e-book spammers - Not only
spamming, but also cross-posting to 10 groups.

I would not call it a spam, as topic of the book is relevant to
this group and from looking at the table of contents it
appears to be interesting.
One time announcements of production relevant to
news group topic are not prohibited by the chapter. I dont
know about other crossposted groups but from the first
look the list appears relevant.

Whether it's relevant or not is immaterial. What matters is whether
unsolicited commercial announcements are allowed on the newsgroups
to which it was posted. I'm replying from sci.electronics.basics,
and as far as I know, this group's charter prohibits commercial
announcements. Do you have information to the contrary? ---

Do you have a link to the relevant charter which states that?

Even if the charter of a group allowed a one time announcement, which I
doubt any do, this is NOT a one-time posting.

This guy posted three times in the past 2 days, yesterday about making your
own electricity which apparently was actually about making biodiesel. His
only objective is to sell overpriced e-books.

Spam is Spam - Even if it is related to the groups area of interest.

You're preaching to the choir. :-)

I just wanted him to go and do his own legwork so he'd find out that
he's talking through his hat.

It was posted to 10 groups which makes it spam by most definitions anyway.

The original isn't on my news server so I guess it was already filtered by them
