The ip range 68.21.251.64 ------> 68.21.251.127

This is a our new block of ip address and we are not spammers.
So plese remove this from your database..


Also the best way to stop 100% of all spam is to block all Ip
address!!!
Then you will never get any more spam guaranteed!!!

Thank you for changing an irritation like spam into a business / IT
administrators nightmare.

We received a message from SPEWS saying they will not remove our
numerical set from their list because even though we are not spammers,
our name is not associated with our address range. First of all, this
is in error. Here is the

So our name is listed with our numerical set, even though this is not
a requirement. Secondly, it seems that we were collateral damage in a
misguided, non-public new standard set by SPEW. Over the last two days
we have spent additional engineering dollars to reprogram our routers
for the new number set supplied by SBC, our services to the poor were
delayed, and in some cases, critically delayed, causing harm to our
clients. We could have spent that money battling predatory lenders who
were trying to take homes from the elderly or abusive spouses who
tearing apart their families, but because Internet access is critical
to our legal research, our communication with the courts and referring
agencies, and for other purposes, we were forced to spend our money
dealing with a predatory, abusive, self-righteous group of
anti-spamming zealots. The listing our number set as spammers by SPEWS
was a grossly negligent act that has caused a great deal of harm. If
you don't care who you hurt because you think your cause is just, it's
time to rethink your values. It's not whether you win or lose, it's
how you play the game. SPEWS is a group with no accountability and no
transparency in their operations, and they play the game poorly.

I will tell you who I am. John Graves, Chief Administrative Officer of
The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland. I can be reached by phone at
216-861-5767.
