Moderator note - Tesla list and SPAM
Original poster: "Terry Fritz" <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>
Hi All,
I just wanted to mention that SPAM sent to the Tesla list is taken very
badly. :-( While posting Tesla stuff you have for sale and such is
perfectly fine, the true SPAM garbage is not tolerated at all. All the get
rich quick, herbal remedies, viagra... gets a quick response back to the
ISPs of the sender and the websites mentioned. I am really good at getting
such sites nuked and accounts cancelled (I have never had to phone them
"twice"...). Many ISPs now charge hefty fines for spamming...
So I just wanted to give fair warning about this in case anyone is ever
tempted... I do not discriminate at all when it comes to spamming and I am
known for being very vicious. I hardly ever get spam myself and there is a
reason for that ;-)) Once in a very great while the Tesla list names get
pulled into some mailing list. So far, spammers doing that have had a very
"bad day" and the problem has been minor. I intend to keep it that way...
This seems to be a problem more recently so I just wanted to give fair
warning so I would not "zap" the innocent un-warned :-))
Cheers,
Terry
