HELP STOP INTERNET SPAM!!! If you are like me then you know doubt hate internet Spam also known as junk mail that clogs up your internet mail box. You probably also think that there is no one out there in cyberspace who will do something about it. Well, think again. There is currently a group coming together to fight the spammers and make the world of email a better place. Who are we? We are ordinary people who are sick and tired of spam and spam scams, we did not join the world of email to end up being targets for every two-bit scam and con-artist or direct mailers. We want our email 100% junk or spam free and we intend to see that is just what we get. To that end this group has come to gether and formed The Coalition To Fight Internet Spam or CTFIS. Now I know there are some other groups out there that are also trying to fight internet Spam and we applaud their efforts. However they are taking the slow route in getting things done, this does not mean we think any less of them for taking this route. We just want to try what we believe is a faster and more effective route. What is that faster route? After much discussion we who have formed this coalition have decided that the filing of class action lawsuits against spammers on behalf of internet users is the best way to go. However at present our group is not quite large enough to really make the planned lawsuits effective. That is why we are making this appeal. Our appeal to you! We need you to help us fight spam by becoming a member of the coalition and showing that spam free email, internet and newsgroups are important to you. If our plan is successful (and we believe it will be) we intend to divide all judgements evenly among our membership. What a way to stick it to the spammers! If you are interested in joining the fight then email to the address shown below -- ctfis@usa.net -- ctfis@usa.net
