list, and given the nature of this list, this fact could not have
conceiveably escaped the senders of this ad. Perhaps we should contact
Fraud, Waste, and Abuse to see if this constitutes an illegal use of
Federal property. It is the equivalent of cold calling a Federal
employee on a Gov't owned phone.

I don't think so, more's the pity. The message didn't come from within the
gov't; it's more like a cold-call direct to your office. Unfortunately,
it's out of Canter & Siegel's site (they're the lawyers who invented spam
advertising) so complaints to the system administration will be worse than
useless. I've written the list owners suggesting they block postings from
that site, but I'm not sure that's even possible.

Exactly!!! Deliberately making a call of such type to a Federal office
would probably be illegal. I don't know, but I do intend to contact our
ADP people for a ruling. Ok, so I am grasping, but this must stop.
Anyone feel like mailing they a postscript file that won't print with
something at the top saying that since they have taken an interest in
graphics, perhaps they could help find what is wrong with this. Enough
people do that, and maybe their system admin will care what they do.

I am not pleased that I have been subject to your advertisement via several
technically based lists that I subscribe to. I am sure that your intention
were of the utmost ethical behaviour on the internet, but I am not sure
that your sending of messages to technical lists was in good taste and
keeping with the spirit of the internet. I know that from this message you
will have my address, but rest assured if I receive any email from your
organization in the future either direct or via any of the technical lists
of which I subscribe, I will be forced to vent my objection about your
activity on the internet to other controlling sources. This is not to say
that your need to advertise your services is not important to the success
of your organization, but the sources that you have chosen to advertise on
can do your organization more harm than good. Remember that well chosen
advertising can be more constructive that the method on which you have
embarked on.
Remember that the Internet goes everywhere and if I receive another email
about your services I will be forced to contact certain organizations about
your suspected ethical activity. Several of my technical lists have been
disrupted by your message rather than continuing to focus on our technical
areas of interest.
Sincerely,

will not now, nor will I ever, patronize the firm in question. I
figure that if enough people do that, then they'll realize that
spamming is counter-productive.
