This spam advertising their product has been continuing for nearly a year
now.  Today the groups hit are bit.listserv.cumrec-l and rec.collecting.

At least one upstream site already alises them out.  I have extensive
documentation of their continuing spam available for sysadmins.

Copied to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and postmasters on the paths.

Hi
        for several years now, administrators have been using a free
software package to get a handle on small, varied collections and archives.
it's called SquareNote, and its very easy to use.  works on any
IBM-compatible PC.
        in a few minutes or a few hours, you can organize and index any kind
of collection or archive.  it might be worth a try.  in use at more than
1,100 colleges and universities.
                gene

        Many people enjoy collecting things, but few take the time to 
fully organize and index their private collections.  A well-organized 
collection provides more pleasure for its owner and has more value.

        What's needed is an "annotated list" of all your items, one 
that allows easy editing and revision, sorting in various ways, and 
printing out of all or parts of the list.

        Such an "annotated list" will automatically build its own 
index, one that will pop up on the screen at the touch of a key.  It 
has plenty of space for your own notes and ideas about the items; notes 
about acquisition, history, repair, possible buyers.

        Before you spend money on software for maintaining such a list, 
you should be aware that the best software for this purpose, 
SquareNote, offers a completely FREE version, SquareNote3.5.  Very easy 
to learn and use.

        Try this first, because it's likely to meet your needs and 
doesn't cost a cent.  It runs on any IBM-compatible PC, but the MAC and 
native Windows versions won't be out until later this year.

        For a free copy of SquareNote3.5, email "sqn35net@sqn.com" or 
open "http://sqn.com".  Curious about why we offer free software?  
Email "whyfree@sqn.com".

He's trying to get these spammers bounced so that they stop ad-spamming
newsgroups and lists, posting deceptive sigverts, and adding people to
their mailing lists but not removing them.  Hopefully it will work.
