Dave Mustachi must be stopped!
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.
Last Updated: April 25, 1998 because Dave Mustachi is now spamming Studio42.
And now, without further ado, Studio42 presents the:

What is it with spammers? Do they simply not get it? How can they send bulk-email
for profit? I mean, it's obvious that the people who spam do not have a legitimate
product, otherwise they wouldn't need to spam. I sure as hell don't want some idiot
pushing a spamming program at me.
Sure, I can send 20,000 misguided scams a day. I'll also get deluged my responses:
people flaming me for spamming them. Spam simply doesn't work, and the sooner these
spammers get the hint, the better. It's amazing how they have all these methods
figured out to get your money the fastest, but not how to actually run a legitimate
business.
The spammer even boast how spamming costs him nothing. That's exactly what makes
spamming illegal, since the end users and ISP indirectly and directly involved end
up paying for this spam. Remember, advertisers are REQUIRED to bear the cost of their
advertising.
To top it off, BAD HTML done by:

The HTML won't work because it was not only done poorly, but incomplete as well. The
document was never closed out. Obviously this clueless moron is not aware of exactly
how the <PRE> tag works. As such, I'm going to forgo me usual formatting that
I do so you can truly enjoy the errors.
My auto-flamer was rejected becuase the "reply" address was invalid. That is no surprise
to me. Let's crack this spam open:

A spam for the Floodgate Windows spamming software package. By the way, I'm sure
you've figured out I don't want to spam people.
This idiot puts what I am hoping is a valid address, although notice the PO box!

Let's just jump to the headers:
This again originated from UU.Net, as is typical with many spams. The recieve from
address is also valid, which pretty much shows where the spam relayed from.
Let's not forget the flawed HTML. Always a good way to show off your product by
having it reveal flaws when used. That is a major advantage to using a non-HTML
based mail client. Of course, this means more clean-up for me to do.

I am positive this spam is frm the above person. Near identical headers, plus the
same flaws in headers, as well as the same crappy HTML. Different body and subject,
but this is essentially the same crap.

All done. No sense is prolonging this one. This does show that my remove requests
do not work for this scam. However, none have bounced. I'm sure they are auto-purged.

Sorry for not applying some forced formatting to the spam, but I have a life.
Besides, it's about time you see what this crap really looks like
Another spam for Floodgate Spam package. They say their stuff is flame and bomb
proof. Since they sent this spam via their package, how can their remove address
work?
Of course, more t-1net.com spam. I am going ahead and escalating this to their
upstream provider.
Bad HTML too. No suprise.

I have a feeling I'm getting this sort of crap as a retaliation for having an anti-spam site.
Still, I will complain, as I don't want a spamming program and I sure as hell am not going
to buy a list of email addresses, 99.999% of which do NOT want spam anyways.
Same bad HTML too. I am assuming that if you buy the address CD's, then you'll find yourself
on them, since he must be using the same lists so he can spam.

Hmm, new address. I wonder why? New phone number too. Again, I wonder why...
UPDATE October 31, 1997,18:00
A well placed complaint has gathered the desired results. BellSouth apparently frowns on
spamming now, and has CANCELLED this account. Dave Mustachi has been caught and stopped,
for the time being anyways. I am sure I was one of HUNDREDS of complaints. Regardless,
this is a victory!

He's back. Now he's trying to help you find a spam tolerance Internet service provider
to help you get your spams out there. Isn't that cute? Same crappy flawed HTML too.
Nothing worse than getting a 24K spam on average twice a month. You would think if this
was actually making him money, he would not keep spamming.

Apparently Dave is back. He has made a fatal mistake by spamming Studio42.
The only reason this stealth technology works is that servers to be relay-raped
are carefully selected as being broken and therefore suitable for his abuse.
The "Re:" is also false as I certainly didn't request this garbage.

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!
