Subject: Issue 980702-1161928

The account responsible has been identified and suspended pending 
communication with the account holder.  Appropriate action will be 
taken according to our AUP/TOS policies, up to full termination of 
services. 

MindSpring does not condone and will not permit abusive behavior by its
users. Though no summary judgements will be made, all complaints we
receive will be actively investigated and action will be taken when and
where it is appropriate.  Depending upon the severity of the abuse and the
history of the account involved, we may take any one or more of the
following actions:

      issue warnings: written or verbal
      suspend newsgroup posting privileges
      suspend the account
      terminate the account

MindSpring considers net-abuse an action that undermines the ability of
the Internet to serve as a discussion forum and viable arena for
responsible net commerce. In addition, net-abuse may be a violation of
state or federal law, or the laws of other countries.
