I happen to be at 1645 Vine, he's at 1680. By the looks of his "office", I
doubt he's incorporated though.

Well, Ted, that was what I was trying to do. He apparently didn't
understand that his Usenet spam would get sent out to some groups via
e-mail. Like I said before, by the way he was able to by-pass Usenet
moderation, I would have thought he would understand that at least, the
bit.listserv.* groups would go out as e-mail.
This was also why I found his dislike of "FAX" advertising to be a bit
hypocritical. He thinks that if you have to pay for the paper, then it
shouldn't be done. But download time? Apparently he doesn't understand,
or he doesn't care.

True, and that is *exactly* his point. He's see those moderators who
cancel his posts as the bad guys, the ones who are holding back commerce.
I don't have an answer, especially when guys like this end up making money.
We've all fought against junk snail mail, and telephone solicitation for
years, it seems that we will have to continue to fight this too.
