To all subscribers of the "Rootsweb Project" Though the initial "Spam Group" was bad enough, creating everyone to Jump In and give their Pros and Cons to the subject, that real spammers, are people that respond to that issue of discussion. I did a "Reply-to-All" and now have created another Spam, just like Randy Hoover did responding with his Philosophical Point of View on the subject. It's not the original Spam that crashes systems, its the one person times the number of mailing lists that they subscribe to responses. I received 53 letters in 24 hours, of which 7 did not relate to this subject of Spamming. You, the respondees are going to kill Rootsweb ! My ISP just took a 4 day hit on it's mail servers due to a Spamming Scheme ! It cost them millions to upgrade 100% of what they used to comfortably be able to operate at. It is better to turn these people in than to close a Free service such as Rootsweb. Give me the original letter that started this and I will start the ball rolling. My ISP will probably file a Joint Class Action Suit against these people and I do know the person who teaches Internet Security to the local FBI Office here in town ! I want these junkies off the net, they are wasting the money I paid for the services I wanted, not forced to accept ! It is a Federal Crime to receive Junk Mail via Fax Machines, I'm sure that this would fall into that category as well. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, look at Dr.. Hoo's cc:'s I added PacBell !
