Margarets Forest Pty Ltd is the name of the Perth company running a
spamhaus under an astouding variety of names. They're also whackamoles
from Hell. So Troy Rollo of CAUBE-au (http://www.caube.org.au/) decided to
serve a civil statement of claim on them for Aus$500 plus serving
expenses, as the first step in a thorough LARTing.
SCENE: Thursday 21st February 2002, 4:55pm; Level 7, 231 Adelaide Terrace,
Perth.
When you come out of the lift on level 7, you're right at the
receptionist's desk for all the suites on the floor.
Smiling receptionist. "Hello!"
"Hi!" (friendly smile) "Is Sally Kelly in?"
"Yes, just a minute ... Who shall I say is here?"
"I'm David ... It's personal." (concerned expression)
"Okay." (ring ring) "Sally? David's here to see you. ... She'll be right
out."
Sally walks out. "Hello ... er, do I know you?"
"I'm David Gerard." (I hand her the Statement of Claim.) "I'm serving you
this legal process."
(upset) "What is this?"
"A statement of claim against Margarets Forest Pty Ltd. I suggest you call
your lawyer. Have a nice day!"
Sally walks off, nice document in hand. I depart, with a biiig smile on my
face and doing an occasional jump in the air as I walk down the
street.
That was *fun*. Pity I won't be in Perth any time soon to do any more. But
everyone I've told about it went "*Really*!", and I think I'll be drinking
off this for at least the next month. It also impresses the chyx. So there
should be a suitable supply of spammer servers over here to pay them more
happy visits as needed.
If you are an Australian voter, go to http://www.caube.org.au/ and join.
Joining is free; the benefit of it is that we can say to politicians "We
have x signed-up members, and x of those are in YOUR electorate" when
we're doing lobbying. Which we are (if I say so myself) being rather
effective at.
We are also considering selling the opportunity of serving processes on
spammers. How to make a bundle on the Interweb Sooperhighway, indeed.

How are you coming on your costume? Every true superhero needs one. For
those who've seen the animated Canadian sitcom "Kevin Spencer", it's evident
that the Drunken Welfare Man motif really works well. Assists in branding
oneself as a superhero not to be fucked with!
Just be sure to include proper provisions for that incredibly huge rod.
