I've heard several times in the last several weeks that someone, somewhere, is seeking legal action against him, but I've yet to hear anything coming of it. You can see how he's thumbing his nose at the idea, taunting us. This may be a "new ISP", but it's been posted to news.admin.net-abuse.misc that the idiot has used this most recent site, NMIA.COM, previously under yet another assumed name. As he points out, he can go on doing this indefinitely, and will, so long as he thinks he can make money from it, and service providers don't see it as worth their while to slap fees on assholes like this and take them to court. I believe that if anything is going to be done we're going to have to do it ourselves. The shear number of listserv users should be able to mount an effective protest, if we all aim at the same target. ============================================================================ Mike Holloway |* On average, 8 people a day on the waiting list [log in to unmask] | for a transplant die for lack of a donor. ____________________________|* The end-stage diseases treated by transplant do not recognize age, race, nationality or pocketbook. * There is no justifiable reason to deny organ donation, but many myths and misunderstandings. * Next of kin must allow donation.
