You are the only person I have heard say that this spam is "helpful". I find it obnoxious, uninformative, and totally useless. I don't care that you "don't want to remove people". This is unsolicited spam and I want you to stop sending it to me. > > I can understand the problem with receiving hundreds of pieces of email > about it.

I have requested that you cease doing so. You have refused. My only legal recourse is to charge you a fee for such "unsolicited manuscripts" if you still insist on sending them to me. > Brian > ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tired of spam?
