PS. I have written to one of these previous posters to zope@, suggesting that spamming a newsgroup full of tech-heads is not a good idea, and might cause some nasty backlash.
Bad, bad idea! Its the quickest way to get your own address on such a CD-ROM; you have just confirmed your own address exists and is read by a human being. The one and only backlash that works is complaining to their ISPs. http://spamcop.net/ will help you generate complaints. If their ISPs don't listen (there are ISPs that don't), their upstream connectivety providers will get the complaints. Eventually some abuse department somewhere gets pissed off enough to disconnect the spammer, their ISP with them if they have to. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@zope.com | Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
