One of the fun things about the internet is that you can't just put things behind you - information is never forgotten unless it's useful. There are flames I wrote on Usenet back in the early 80s archived; if only it were as easy to find the useful stuff. As the song says, "C'mon Joe, you can always change your name".

If you did know, you'd have written to the people who run the archives, not the people on the mailing list you once spammed, not that either will erase it. And there's more than one archive. Looks like the Mitch's original "remove-me" request didn't make it to the lne.com list, but it's in the inet-one archives. Tim's reply included the spam. The address of Mitch Shoemaker, the spammer, looks very much like the address of SHOEMAKER'S AUTO BODY 82 Iron St Rear N Bloomsburg PA 17815 (717) 784-3585 which probably explains why none of the four listings in Anywho have the same address as Mitch the spammer. Shoemaker, Angie 90 Alexis Dr BLOOMSBURG, PA 17815 570-389-1834 Shoemaker, Charles E 345 E 8 St BLOOMSBURG, PA 17815 570-784-2690 Shoemaker, Paul 90 Alexis Dr BLOOMSBURG, PA 17815 570-389-1834 Shoemaker, William L 918 E 7 St BLOOMSBURG, PA 17815 570-784-1218 I'm guessing that the area code for Shoemaker's auto body is now 570.

Information wants to be Free, Mitch. Kinda sucks to be you, doesn't it?
I am only 16 and just wanted to get some money the easy way at the time I had no idea that it was illegal.
You should have known that it was rude and deceptive, and had some clue that the only way you can make money from it is by getting a bunch of suckers to lose money. Whether or not that's illegal is really a secondary issue.
