Re: Try it yourselves
Posted in 1996
I've never seen so many chain mails posted in a single month! I don't know. If so many are asking, many more must be willing to give! I wonder how these chain mail posters would react to 70000 angry informixers all asking for a 1 dollar note? (I'd give it a try, if I weren't sure that the idiot's reply-to address is bouncy) Seriously, there must be a way to stop all this. I'm pretty sure that the TOS does include something about illegal or annoying postings. (Mike, Billy?). Maybe if more of us do complain to the offending site' postmaster (I like Con Woodall, have done it) one or two accounts will be cancelled. Not much, but it would be a start. Anybody knows how to force ISP's to include a "no chain mails or you're kicked out of the internet" paragraph to the TOS, and to actually enforce it? -- ciao, Marco. ____________________________________________________________________________ rem radioterapia, which I immeritately manage, seldom agrees with what I say marco greco (Catania, Italy) Work: marcog@ctonline.it rem radioterapia 39 95 447828 fax 446558 (was mar.greco@agora.stm.it) Achea 39 95 503117 --- On 29 Sep 1996 12:29:52 GMT Koen Van der Elst wrote: Susan Penrose <suep@acslink.aone.net.au> wrote in article <324E1A3E.1202@acslink.aone.net.au>... > Marvin Finnley wrote: > > > > We found the message below and decided to have some fun and try it. > > We have never looked back.

I TOTALLY AGREE !!! 1) This is a f.....g scam. 2) Ever thought about the millions of non-Americans out there who also consult newsgroups. 3) In me country (Belgium) this kind of action is ILLEGAL !
