Most self respecting IP Providers will revoke a users account for doing
something like this, but this time we were too late, as the original
message is already gone from our site.

Here's what to do if you see a message like that again.  

  1.  Immediately notify your provider of the newsgroup and the subject
      of the message along with your concerns.

  2.  If the provider can identify where the message originated, they
      will send a note to the provider of that user which will 
      hopefully get them deleted.

Although this is reactionary, if people keep loosing their accounts
for inappropriate advertising, maybe they'll think twice before
doing it again.
