By reposting it, and crossposting it to everyone listed in the header, you perpetuate the spread of this sort of sales-virus. Which is exactly what they want. We can't do anything about it, and it can't be stopped. Spamming is the inevitable consequence of a free market with all the scruples of a feral alley cat. The non-selective bottom feeder behind this operates out of PO box in Laredo, TX. We should all mail him some roadkill squishy; preferably a dead skunk. (imagine... over 1100 ripe little packages showing in Laredo all at once... ;-) He is not from Siemens Business Services in Munich, Germany. They were just the mule that this rode in on. This spammer just stole the use of Siemens' "david" machine to do his dirty work. Wonder if there are any international laws about theft of computer time? Naw... that'd be too easy to ask the post office in Laredo to turn him over to fraud squad. But how much you want to bet that if you DID mail N.I. LLC a dead skunk or some red-bag hospital waste, the MIB would be on your doorstep within 24 hours? Just put a fresh spring under your delete key and keep using it. That really is the path of least resistance. - Bill Thoen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
