Deadbeats' Hall of Lame, Special Patrick Cochrane Edition
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.

It's obviously pointless asking removing from the "friend@public.com" mailing list.
This idiot wants to sell me a book. Thank goodness they have an address so I can
write formal complaints:

Of course, if this is so successful, then why is this person resorting to spam? Like
the saying goes: actions speak louder than words.
This was sent through PSI. Let's see if the listed "from" domain is even valid:

Apparently this clueless idiot just doesn't get it. This same spam keeps coming.
Identical except for headers, but it all comes out of PSI, this persistent
NancyNet crap from the "friend@public.com" mailing list that I should not be on.

Oh joy, I'm getting this at work now too, but this time being "relayed" via
some Italian mail server. NOT! This is the address his system is forging.

This little Kitchen Table Millionaire must be making this idiot a lot of money.
Oh, wait, did you notice the sarcasm? This spam to promote this little book
must be backfiring since I'm getting this spam again.

This is another spam being sent via PSI, so I'll complain to them again.
Here's your tip: Don't spam.
Patrick Cochrane is not an entrepreneur, he is a low life spammer.
Update September 16, 1997
It appears that PSI has finally gotten the message regarding this spammer.
See the "resolve"
While this is not necessarily a confirmed kill, this does show that PSI
is at least taking action to prevent spam, or at least this one anyways.

Apparently this person just doesn't get it. It keeps coming, with no apparent end
in site. Different approach. Now I have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. You
know what I have to say? Screw that! If I'm PAYING for it, I'll say whatever I feel
like saying, including GIVING the stuff away to people, posting it online or whatever.
There are no trade secrets in this book because it is a FRAUD.

PSI is being notified only because they requested it. This is a NancyNet spam, from a
NancyNet domain. Gladys Crocker will send me an automated message telling me to
go to the IEMMC remove list, which as we all know, is a joke.

If you are one of the dilweeds who sent me unsolicited email or are someone thinking about it, drop dead.
Also, if you've got a complaint about my anti-spam feelings or want to scold me for being justifiably sick of spam, I have the following words of wisdom for you:
YOU'VE COME TO THE WRONG PLACE!
