Wow! The cypherpunks are a fucking business? Am I a stock holder?
Ha-fucking-ha!
Is this line supposed to convince us that this was a targeted e-mail and *not*
spam! <LOL> Normally I just trash this stuff, but I really got a kick out of
that. I hope we can get to top 100 by the fall '98 <bg>

Just don't smurf them. I'm sure their service providor wouldn't like
that, and it isn't nice. You should just hit the delete key, and respect
their right to freely express themselves.
p.s. - Thanks for the little white pills, Dr. Vulis. I'm feeling much
happier now.

You are very welcome.
On the subject of junk e-mail: I've made an effort to place myself and
certain other addresses on the spammers' removal lists. This may be why
I get a lot less junk e-mail that apparently most people who post to
Usenet.
These days, I get about 2 or 3 junk e-mails; they are usually sent from
ibm.net or worldcom.att.net or erathlink or netcom; never aol or juno
(although they may be forged to look this way). I typically forward them
with the headers and without any comments to abuse@originating ISP, and
am typically notified within a day that the account has been terminated.
(Unlike the assholes from news.admin.net-abuse.* I have better things to
do than to keep track of my kill count, but it must be close to a hundred
since I started doing this last summer.)
