Folks,
Here is some effective Spam Netiquette:
1. Don't drown the newsgroup with replies because the sender won't see
them anyway
(that's like filling your neighbors' mailboxes with complaints about
junk mail).
2. Email a response directly to the sender and spam his mailer, not the
newsgroups
(I prefer to autosend 100 emails of the US Constitution and
Amendments, but I
don't advocate that everyone follow suit)
3. If the post is proposes an illegal activity, such as this chain
letter/pyramid
scheme, send a copy to the appropriate government authorities
(I sent a copy to the NC Attorney General and the US FCC).
Regards,
Eric
