Spamming

[Mark Farmer]

Fellow Protistologists,

In the future when we receive unsolicited email to this newsgroup PLEASE 
just hit the delete key and ignore it.  By responding to the group (e.g. 
using the reply function) you will only occupy more bandwidth.  The 
sender is NOT a member of this group and will NEVER see your angry reply.
This technique of mass emailing to user groups is known as "Spamming" 
(after the Monty Python routine).  It is a pain in the neck but one of 
the costs we pay for having an open and unrestricted flow of information. 
 
If you are REALLY angry at a particular "spammer" please reply directly 
to them and not to the group


Your friendly Discussion Group Leader,
 
Mark A. Farmer
