Article 14496 of alt.sex.cthulhu: From: bs904@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Andrew Nellis) Newsgroups: alt.sex.cthulhu Subject: POD: WAR JOURNAL: A good, close look at the enemy Date: 14 Mar 1997 09:02:52 GMT Week 2: [addendum to previous entry] I would like to introduce you to the enemy, homo spammus illiterati. As part of my spam-eliminating efforts, I make it a point to send mail to the poster as well as the postmaster in question when this is possible, ie/ when they have not used a fake e-mail address. I recently received two pieces of mail from one of these spammers. I warn you, it is not pleasant to look at, though any who have perused the damned and unholy Al Azif need not fear any greater unhinging of sanity. It ought to give you an insight into the sinister little workings of their minds, such as they are. You will note that he becomes self-righteous at the thought of being denied the God-given liberty to fill other people's hard drives with his commercial drivel. Normally, posting e-mail without permission is considered rude, but after being told I'm "fucked in the head" I'm less than charitable. A copy of his mail has been passed on to his postmaster. [ Note: I've been telling people the FAQ is located at http://cthulhu.org/smut/FAQ. Is this wrong? If so, would it be possible to have the FAQ placed there, as it seems a logical enough location and, after all, I've already informed many dozens of postmasters that it is there. ;-) ] From DBailey@bc.sympatico.ca Fri Mar 14 03:14:42 1997 Received: from zorro.bctel.ca (zorro.bctel.ca [204.174.64.65]) by freenet.carleton.ca (8.8.3/8.6.4) with ESMTP id DAA14257 for ; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 03:14:41 -0500 (EST) Received: from server (dy1-32.van.tvs.net [204.244.156.41]) by zorro.bctel.ca (8.8.4/8.7.1) with ESMTP id AAA16412 for ; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 00:11:19 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <332908A3.59E8@BC.Sympatico.CA> Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 00:13:23 -0800 From: Derek Bailey X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0b2 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: bs904@freenet.carleton.ca Subject: Re: Spam X-Priority: 3 (Normal) References: <199703140749.CAA16072@freenet3.carleton.ca> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Status: RO Andrew Nellis wrote:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I regret to inform you that your recent posting (appended below) to the
alt.sex.cthulhu newsgroup is inappropriate. Our newsgroup, as explained
in our regularly-published FAQ, does not permit advertising. A copy of

It is most unfortunate that your newsgroup is in the "Sex" jonour yet does not allow sex related advertisements. Had you published your FAQ to everyone on the internet, perhaps I would have got a copy and heeded it. Nonetheless, I post advertisements in some 200 adult related newsgroups do you really think I would spend the time to search the net to find information on all 200 of them to see if commercial postings are allowed or not. That would be nice, but not very realistic. I do however apologize for the intrution, I was not aware that newsgroups were moderated, I thought they were for public free speech. Had I of known, I would not have posted.

A copy of your advertisement has been forwarded to your postmaster. It is
hoped that this unfortunate situation does not recur in the future.

This is what really pisses me off!!! You had no right to do that. If you have a problem with me, then deal with me, not my Postmaster. A simple courtious message to my mailbox would have sufficed, and made me a much more pleasant person to deal with .

How the Fuck was I supposed to know that this newsgroup didn't allow advertisements.

Why don't you post a big Fucking banner in the Group title. Geez!

Fuck off and Die!
