You know, I am getting so tired of this I can hardly stand it. I have one person who just sent four messages through... and although I thought I had it filtered... it didn't quite work. Is there any consortium being formed for example of postmasters or representatives at the major services, aol, prodigy, compuserve, eWorld, netcom etc. where we can look into what we may or may not do to STOP this once and for all. If there isn't, is there any reason why we shouldn't perhaps form one... invite the parties... and try to move forward to figure out ways we can STOP this from continuing. There may not be any laws.. but perhaps together we might be able to establish some guidelines from within the commercial services and providers where action can be taken against these folks! Some way to form a laundry list so if someone is removed from one service there will be a database to check all new subscribers against before giving them an account elsewhere. They do this with credit cards. Everyone using a commercial service does have to give some type of name and credit information. In almost all industries there are consortiums formed to monitor abuse.. perhaps it is time for it to hit this area as well. Wonder what would happen if we just wrote to the postmasters of all the sites and asked them to join a new mailing list? The purpose, to discuss how we can work together to get rid of net spammers and abusers. I would think there are enough of them out there who are about as tired of the complaints as we are of sending them to them. Susan E. King [log in to unmask] --
