	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!
