Something worth noting, On Thursday 07 December 2000 11:12, you wrote: Im sure you've > all noticed that you cant reply to most of them since they are > bogus addresses...even though they say at the bottom to reply > and say you want to be removed. Nor do you want to respond under any conditions - a response only guarantees that your email address will be VERIFIED and then addd to the "premium" spammer lists of addresses with verified owners. By replying, you just make your stolen personal info that much more valuable. By the way, I used to get spammed with "Supersluth tells all - make $50K a month" everytime I posted to the OCHL. Eventually, I got pissed and called the number in the spam, and got a recorded message with a Company Name. I did a Yahoo search, found the *real* company and their website (even the names of the company's principals & execs...), and sent them the mother of all flames, mentioning that I had: a) forwarded their names & addresses to the FCC authorities, and b) baited the list so that the spam bots would unwittingly continue to spam the same FCC authorities. The spam stopped immediately, never to re-appear. One tiny little victory. -- Bill Layer Sales Technician <b.layer at vikingelectronics.com>
