| 105383 | 2002-12-12 07:34:00 | Heres a good one I picked off the net today A US bulk emailer is threatening legal action after so-called "anti-spammers" signed him up for lots of junk mail . Detroit Free Press tech columnist Mike Wendland reported last week that Alan Ralsky is now experiencing what it likes to be flooded with unwanted correspondence . Mr Ralsky has the capacity to send a billion emails a day and has made a fortune doing it . Now, he's receiving sacks of paper post, brochures, and catalogues [AOL CDs? Ed] after being signed up for all manner of junk mail - and he ain't happy . He told the DFP: "They've signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is . These people are out of their minds . They're harassing me . " Some people have already pointed out the delicious irony in this situation made all the more sweeter because of Mr Ralsky's apparent distress . And who are the anti-spammers? The heroes of the hour hatched the plot on Slashdot, with spam haters posting Ralsky's address and "even an aerial view of his neighborhood" . |

| 105386 | 2002-12-12 08:42:00 | Excellant...... i took great pleasure in using my cable bandwidth as a counter attack on one auckland try hard wannabe spammer who got my address from one of many in the "to" feild from a more innocent bulk email What really rattled me was a comment to the effect of "if you dont like me emailing you about this, get over it" One hopes he had the same attitude with the multiple copies of apache server that i sent him to help him establish a better web presence. I'm not sure if he got them all cause his mail box was a tad full for a few days. :D .Clueless |
