Instead, why don't we (I think it's pretty obvious which group this
refers to) politely ask netcom administration to please take
appropriate action to prevent this from happenning in the future.  I have
written the following to admin@netcom.com:

Dear Sir:

I would like to request that you investigate possible USENET violations of one
of you subscribers, Tom Spearman mactime@netcom.com.

Mr. Spearman has repeatedly posted commercial messages on the misc.forsale.*
hierarchy.  It is my opinion and the opinion of many others on the net that
Mr. Spearman is in clear violation of the charters of those newsgroups.  I
would request that you take appropriate action to prevent him from doing so
in the future.

Best regards,

Terry Lee
