Not only is this spam on top of spam, but the reply address is a phony.

I tried sending a polite note, which came back undeliverable. And
feedME.org doesn't use the standard abuse@ address format for
complaints. It looks like we're dealing with something other than the
garden-variety erroneous posting, and it may take more than polite
requests to get rid of him.

So, for anyone who'd like to join in the complaints, here are the
relevant addresses:

The spamster's real e-mail address:

crack...@tias.com

The tias organization is:

ti...@tias.com

The owner of feedME, who might like to know that rec.antiques is one out
of the 30,000 newsgroups that doesn't want his spam:

michael...@feedME.com

When your polite note didn't get through you didn't even try and
post the note to another of feedME's address, instead you then
posted this down right slanderous article, along with a completely
rude and completely wrong email.

Clearly you aren't aware of our EXTREMELY strong anti-spam policy,
so much so that we're written our own cancelbot and take active
part in the news.admin groups and work with people who run NoCeM.
For those who may be interested we post regular anti-spam reports
to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet

The reason we give out 'phony' email address' is so that a person
can post to usenet without having to worry about recieving a
massive amount of SPAM for posting to usenet.

It is most certainly NOT a way for people to hide their real
address'.

Hello everyone!

I've now received responses from crackleking and from feedME.org's
owner, Michael Bennett. Both assure me that they are nor professional
spammers, and that the violation of our NG rules was unintentional, and
won't happen again.

Mr. Bennett says his service gives out phony addresses to protect his
users from spam, not to protect spammers from offended folks. I'm not
convinced that this is not a counterproductive strategy, but that's
another thread for another NG...

Anyhow, I'm sorry I got so grouchy at 2:00 a.m. It's just that the
nonexistent feedME return address meant I had to send three
undeliverable messages and visit four web pages to accomplish what could
ordinarily have been done with a polite note.
