I can't believe it. My NETCOM account is on some SPAM list of NETCOM
subscribers (apparently someone sometime sold their user list). Anyway, I
just got a SPAM from a computer seller. Half the stuff listed is classic
DEC Hardware! Based on the prices on Exabyte stuff if they hadn't spammed
me I'd probably be interested in doing business with them!?!?! I just
don't believe it!

Claim you are in Washington state and tell them you won't file a complaint
against them if they give you a 50% discount on your first order.

Hmmm, I am in the Portland area, and my Aunt and Uncle do live just across
the river in Washington so I could have it sent to thier address. How evil

Here's a question for you all:
I live in Illinois, but toad, the computer I read mail from, is in Washington.
I telnet in. Therefore, since spamming is illegal in washington, and the
computer is in washington, is it illegal to spam me at the toad address, even
though I'm not a citizen of Washington State? Can I invoke the Washington
Anti-Spam Law?

So call them and educate them as to the error of their ways, and inform them
that you may have bought an xyzzy from them, but they lost the sale since
they spammed. Then tell them you told an entire mailing list they were a bunch
of dirtballs, and mention the 250+ potential customers they lost, and they'll
stop spamming real quicklike.
