I already knew from past experience that you don't understand a lot of 
things, and so it was no surprise that you wouldn't understand this 
criticism either, I just state the arguments as formality so that at 
least you were told and no one can try to float the excuse that you weren't.

My point about topicality has nothing to do with business. What a weird 
way to think about that.

In fact, if your app has a specific facilitation for extracting data 
from filepro, even if really that just comes in the form of yourself 
being able to help the customer because you yourself know filepro, 
rather than anything special in the app itself, that actually is a good 
enough topical distinction as far as I'm concerned. But only f the 
thrust of your post was "I can help you extract data from fp based apps" 
rather than "I have uninteresting_random_app_like_everyone_else's". I 
should have said that in the first place because I already know that 
much and it doesn't matter what the app is or does.

If I sold t-shirts, hey everyone here wears t-shirts at least once in a 
while, therefor it's topical! Or, no problem I;ll just mark it OT:! No. 
Stop trying to excuse your spam. You have something to sell, go find 
your audience the honest way instead of spamming whatever random groups 
you happen to be in.
