Do not sign me up for any mail lists. Studio42 does not accept such unsolicited business. Also, since I've recently been getting a flood of such e-mail from various people and organizations I don't wish to deal with, their names will end up here, along with their home and business addresses, and phone numbers, whenever possible.
Please realize that 99.9% of internet users DON'T want your crap in our e-mail boxes.
Minimum fine for violation of this policy allows me to legally bill/invoice for $500 and this can be escalated to a court of law.

Looks like this spammer stole service from a school to get their message out. I'm going
to really tear into this spammer as you DO NOT SPAM a Studio42 address.

Go talk to a travel agent, who can do anything and more than this little spamming troll
can do for you. Also, chances are your local travel agent doesn't spam, so even more
reason to avoid this spammer.
What's the business name? Phone? License? Anything? What a waste of my time. Then again,
I'm not planning on going to Florida anytime soon anyways.

This is from one of those wimpy spammers who want to try and use sarcasm to try and save
their ass. This spam is also designed to try and make ME look bad when I complain about
it. I don't care. Service was stolen to sent out this crap. I won't tolerate spam landing
on my mail server.
This spam exists because spammers don't know how to stop spamming. Theft of service and
forgeries highlight this really lame anti-spammer spam. I'm not amused.

This is a make money fast with a difference. It costs you $20 just to join, and then you
still have to send $30 to the bottom feeder, $10 each to the next 3 deadbeats, and $100
each to the upper three rungs. Basically, you lost a lot of money fast.
This was sent using spamware via a Worldnet dial-up.

No company name, so this isn't reputable. They do have a toll free number.
It's a pre-recorded message, so you can call a lot, run up their bill and
leave a SHORT but POLITE message saying that spamming is NOT acceptable.

They were rather shocked that their machine would be used as a spam relay. Please
read this "other" action to get a further explanation. This shows that spammers
will go to new lows to get their garbage out. They have closed their relay, but
can't really do anything against the spammer, so this has to be counted as an

All the addresses confirm, this is a valid account. The nature of this email pissed me
off, and I am suspecting specific address harvesting for "targetted" spam that my domain
