Several people, including myself have complained to the culprit. Unfortunately,
several of the complainants replied to the junk mail by sending to the whole
list instead of the original sender. Watch for the reply-to field of incoming
messages. This often carries the list name (i.e. everyone) instead of the
sender.

Ours is not the only list to be targetted in this way and I believe that
several of the lists affected have barred access to this solicitor. When you
receive messages like this complain, at length if you wish (but get the address
right!), and point out that although these lists and news groups can offer
widespread publicity for a product or service they also offer an excellent way
of blackening a reputation on a massive scale.

Cheers....Ron
