Well, I dunno, it seems to me that a flamefest and mailbombing run on
everyone who does such a thing will eventually ensure that newcomers
will get the word as soon as they get their network connection.  Kind
of "Welcome to the net, be sure not to make the following mistakes."

[BTW: I didn't get the junk mail, didn't send anything to the idiots
who sent it out, and think the folks who sold them network services
should have ensured they knew what the net _was_ before taking their
money.]
