Re: [DX-CHAT] Radio-Amateurs+ART
Jim: What a bunch of hokey. ON4AW started the mess, but now isn't willing to take responsibility for it. The whole thing reads like some of the answers I used to get from some Texas politicians when I was a newspaper reporter for 20+ years. He started it, but isn't willing to fix it. I can't see how he's gotten 165,000 favorable replies when his e-mail address bounces like an NBA basketball. This e-mail is like one I started receiving several years ago when I was in graduate school at TCU in Fort Worth. The assistant women's basketball coach somehow got into the university's computer server and sent an e-mail to any and all students and former students that still had a tcu.edu e-mail address. She was looking for male students to form a practice team the women's basketball team could scrimmage weekly. You almost had to have a university e-mail because that was how the university notified you of overdue library books, unpaid school accounts, etc. This also was in the days before cable and DSL, although students on campus had access to T-1 lines. I was taking some post-masters classes at the time. Anyway the computer geeks who worked at the university never figured out how she did it because those addresses were behind several layers of protection, they said. She was supposed to send her e-mail to the computer office at TCU and they would send it to one big mail list under one e-mail address, not 8,000-10,000 separate addresses. The e-mail she sent out had something like 10,000-15,000 e-mail addresses listed for current and former students and for some reason I would get two copies of it almost daily for months. Even setting filters on my e-mail browser didn't help. I finally got some help from the tech folks at GTE/Verizon who told me how to access my e-mails without using Netscape's e-mail program. The university finally even deleted the forwarding plan I had (like arrl.net e-mails), but somehow this doggone huge e-mail still found my inbox. With a dialup system it took 10-15 minutes to download. I once tried to reply to it and tell the coach to quit sending it out and after 15 minutes of waiting for all the e-mail addresses to load (unfortunately I had hit reply all) I finally just killed the thing. When I did reply to just her, she never did take responsibility for it, as she was more interested in finding a practice team than taking responsibility for the computer problems she caused.

Yes, I get several of these a day. Each time I add the address to my blocked list, and report it as junk mail to my ISP. I just keep getting it from a new address. It is obviously intentional, since he keeps switching e-mail to keep from being blocked. 73, Duane The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.- Ralph Waldo Emerson Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

He sounds like the perfect candidate to: 1) test your killfile/email trash filter on 2) meet Paul Vixie. 73 John K5MO At 10:05 AM 3/20/2007, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: Here is a response I received back from ON4AW.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Radio-Amateurs+ART
Translation: It's our own fault that he's spamming us, because we had the audacity to make our email addresses available somewhere on the Internet where Google or another search engine can find them. And he has no control over it. So if you don't like it, trash it or don't post your email address. Sounds like a politician. He just CAN'T help himself, so by enabling him, it's your fault! What a crock. I'd be more specific, but this is a family reflector, and I'm supposed to try and set a good example. 73 -Original Message- From: Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11:06 AM To: dx-chat@Njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] Radio-Amateurs+ART Here is a response I received back from ON4AW.

Has anyone tried to report him to the Belgian spam authorities? There are often email addresses to which you can forward offending messages.
