I've lost track of how long this has been going on, but I'm guessing upwards of 8 or 10 months. I got hit with 182 of 'em Friday, which I forwarded without comment back to postmaster and abuse at cyberia.net.LB. I used to provide single copies with polite explanations of what I thought was going on, but have never seen any trace of a pulse at what appears to be the equivilent of AOL.com for camel-rapers. My take on this is that some user there put together a bulk-subscription exec for the purpose of letting other idiots conveniently mail-bomb random netters by bulk subscribing them to multiple lists, a'la that effing KaBoom exec so many of us had to suffer through a few years back. I'm a bit reticent to pursue it aggressivily since the thing is obviously broken, does no damage here beyond annoying me, and the last thing I want is for someone to thank me for pointing out the problem so they can FIX it! -Kary
