Also a great way to lose yout Usenet access. Bad thing to spam me when I am on my free day and "just cruising" the Net. To all: please help fight spammers. As reaction to this incident I am filing an complaint with this malcreants Usenet feed. The aim is to get her net access removed. This will at least cost her the loss of her toy for a while and possible the money for access time she has prepaid. For this to be effective the provider has to recieve as many emails as possible complaining about the same incident.

Usenet is basically anarchy. The Accepted Usage in an anarchy is whatever usage the majority accepts. AFAIK spamming is against this on Usenet :-) > Next time, talk specifically about the provider's own Terms Of Service. > Most providers strictly prohibit spamming in their sign-on contracts. As I do not know these (and do not have time to search for them) that is fairly difficult to. BTW: to all: in the replay mail from spam@earthlink.net they mentioned that they have one. So for future cases involving them I can refer. The same I also know for Netcom. -- private: Neil.Franklin.remove.this@ccw.ch http://www.ccw.ch/Neil.Franklin/ office: franklin.remove.this@arch.ethz.ch http://caad.arch.ethz.ch/~franklin/ Can a Microsoft allergy be claimed on job health insurence?
