Why is Kevin Lipsitz mad at you.  What did you do to him to piss him off.  Is
his biz just one big rip?
        And could you send me the transcript you mentioned?

I bet you're aware of the "magazine club" spams that Kevin
Lipsitz has repeatedly inflicted since late last summer
on every list in sight.  I respond to nearly each one, with
mail (brief) and faxes (not always so brief).  Kevin never
responded to me until this Saturday, when he ran out of
patience: he put my name on a piece sent to three or four
lists, and I received an anonymous telephone call full of
veiled threats.  (I'll send you the transcript on request, or
you can read my longer account in news.admin.net-abuse.misc.)

My story got the attention of someone in Washington, who
likewise was "framed" for a KrazyKev spam.  (He thinks it
especially heinous to forge a .gov address; I forgive him.)
He's eager to see what he can do to put Kevin out of business;
he means to contact the FBI -- and Al Gore's office.

The threat to "go after you" from New York to California is
grounds for FBI action, but gee whiz, they're far from my
first choice of allies!  Just how much do I want to cooperate?
Would I rather just borrow a friend's cannon for awhile,
and tell the baby-burners to buzz off?

What if Gore tries to make me his poster-boy for a campaign
to stamp out the pirates of Cyberspace?
