Don't worry, "Janet Dove", or actually sanghi3@grfn.org got mailbombed severely for this one. I'm just glad he doesn't know how to use remailers.
Good going, Anonymous. What I don't understand about inappropriate SPAMs like that one (or telephone ads) is; what's the business incentive to do it? I assume that no Cypherpunk has subscribed to <snip> JMR
I'm no lawyer (and probably wouldn't admit to it if I was.. ;) ) but in most states there are laws restricting advertisement wherein the target of the advertising does not have to pay for the privledge of being advertised to. I beleive this came about right after FAX machines started taking off, and people were sending out advertisments wasting fax paper and jamming telephone lines. Can't this be applied to the internet? I believe someone sued Visa when he was forced to receive junk e-mail on CompuServe (I think he even won.) Anyone have any info on this?
