Congratulations on your bust. This is very encouraging. Now you folks at rust.net can start an anti-snail-mail spam (all those stupid coupons, furniture store and grocery store ads) service. I would pay money for that. It would be most gratifying to see some 40-year old Safeway manager walking off in handcuffs after the Feds raided his store, having confiscated several dumb terminals, samples of food matching the vicious adds he sent me, and quite possibly some actual cans of SPAM itself. Rich Haddock Any opinions expressed that cause enough grief for someone to bother looking for my employer will be treasured. PS: If anyone finds my employer, could you let me know, I'd really like to get paid this month. -----Original Message----- From: Mark E Larson [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 05, 1997 7:34 AM To: Sean M.

Plus he used a false email address, which put the blame on an innocent ISP, causing it to loose customers. Therefore the actions were necessary. Whether or not the kid was 15 is irrelevant. He caused monetary loss, sevice loss, company image damage, and did it knowingly. Would you be so sarcastic if he was 40 years old? How about if it was Cyberpromo? At 06:59 AM 9/5/97 -0700, Sean M.
