WARNING!

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.

Apparently, this idiot spammer intends to continue to lie and force spam upon those who
do not want it. Netblock will be blocked even though this is only the second one directly
associated with this spam farm. UPstream is apparently clueless. Crappy HTML, harvesting,
forgeries, lacking DNS. Hotmail domain contact drop.

Ties to the following other spams here and here.

my address. Not going to work. AOL-forgeries, not originating from AOL.
Hotmail domain drop, apparently the signature I've used
