Hsieh)'s chicken ran across the keyboard:

>Is there any one knows any software can do this:
>1.go to any newsgroups you select and download all the E-Mail 
>address in that newsgroup!
>2.Let you E-Mail to all the address above!And everybody thought 
>you mail a personal E-mail direct to him!

Witness the birth of a JUNK-MAIL SPAMMER!

How would you like it if ALL the ppl in ALL the ngs, you spammed here,
got YOUR email address and flooded your in-box with trash?

When will the message be received that Usenet was NOT intended to be a
tool of unscrupulous money grubbers.  If you want advertisement THEN
PAY FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!  If anything destroys the Internet then this will
be it!

Tell these people, that think that Usenet is their key to $$$$$, what
you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 16 pieces of this shit-mail just today and I'm getting sick of
it.  All 16 WILL receive some lengthy return mail and their ISP will
also be informed!
