ran accross an item in thursday's Houston Chronicle that yall may geta kick out of. seems theres a group of SPAMMERS calling themselves The National Organization of Internet Commerce in Chino California (made up of about a dozen spammers and was founded 3 months ago) that is threatening to post the e-mail addresses of over 5 MILLION AOL subscribers (about half the total)if they are not allowed to send thier spam into AOL's mailserver by Jan 8th. they originally were going to post 1 million addresses but upped the ante when AOL threatened to sue. the leader of this terrorist organization is Joe Melle and he runs a company called TSF Marketing in california. I hope AOL makes this guy bleed!

I kind of wonder if he was *sold* the addresses in the first place...then the deal went sour in a Scarface kind of way.

Katt: Hey! Bob Rivers! I used to have his Twisted Christmas album. "The Restroom Door Said 'Gentlemen'" is my all-time favorite Christmas carol.
Jay: Eh, it's a living. :)

It clicks, it clicks.
Most of my extended family -- inlaws and, er, outlaws -- all use AOL. Because it has the best out of box experience, and is easiest to use for non-computer folks.
They bombard me with jokes and "little Timmy is trying to collect as many emails as he can before he dies" chain-letters.

i got one of those "make $50k by sitting on your butt!" pyramid schemes yesterday I'm considering forwarding to the district atty. do these yutz's think that just because it don't go through the mail it ain't illegal?
