They sleezebuckets have posting this crap (not *cross*-posted,
which could be handled with a simple kill file but, individually
posted) in every single newsgroup that I have read this morning.
Using the Internet as a free advertising medium is *not* a valid
commercial use of the internet, especially as no legal representitive
is needed to enter this lottery. Please take a moment and write to
the sys-admin and post-master at indirect.com. We need to nip this
shit right in the bud. If they think they can get away with it, we
will see a flood of commercial posts from others that will make you
nostalgic for the simple care-free days of clueless newbies posting
"Make.Money.Fast." I wouldn't encourage letter-bombing, as it puts
a strain on the system and can cause *some* versions of *nix to blow
the file system, and cause innocent users trouble.
