The problem seems to be solved... At least for the Net, not for the
IP provider:

Summary: internet direct response to mass posting

Recently, one of our users posted an Advertisement to the almost 5,000 
newsgroups available from our site. If you read USENET News, you have 
probably seen it at least once. 

We do not condone this. In fact, this expressly violates our user agreement.
The users responsible for this action have been disabled on our system. Now,
the law firm of Canter & Siegel has threatened to sue us for $250,000.00

We apologize for the inconvenience and cost incurred upon USENET News 
subscribers and sites around the world by these two users.

If you have strong feelings about this issue, feel free to contact the 
individuals responsible for this posting directly:

	 Canter and Siegel, Immigration Attorneys
  PHONE: (602) 661-3911
    FAX: (602) 451-9717
ADDRESS: 3333 E. Camelback Rd., Ste 250
	 Phoenix, Arizona USA 85018

For a more comprehensive statement concerning this incident, please 
check the first couple of entries in our gopher server (gopher.indirect.com).

I apologize for cross-posting to so many groups, but the volume of email we
are getting is crashing our site, and I wanted to get something out quickly.

Thank you for your understanding,
