True, a certain type of advertising -- when it's relevant to our interests -- is more like "news you can use" than spam. But where I draw the line is when a spammer uses illegal or unethical techniques like using open relays to shove their messages around the net. The examples I've received so far indicate that this is how these messages were propagated. Of course, it may very well be that this is the work of a hired "promoter" and that the company isn't aware of the methods used. If that's the case, then now they know. BTW, if anyone else here has received unsolicited commercial e-mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you still have a copy of the message(s), if you could forward a copy to me (with the message headers included) I'd appreciate it. - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 5837
