 THIS IS ONE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS. DEAL WITH IT.

Vomit, why did you repost this?  Do you know why Speirs made this list and
posted it?  Did you notice that he removed everyone's spam filters?  Trust
me, everyone on that list feels your pain <g>, next time trim the list OK?

Anyhow, to everyone else, if you (or anyone you know) is on this list, you
(or they) may be interested to know that Speirs is using your name and/or
email addy to claim that you are supporting his shit. (I inserted an 'x' as
the second character in every addy, hope that worked!)
