*** REMAINDER MERCIFULLY SNIPPED ***
AND I REPLY:
Please do not forward such advertisements to this or any other mailing list
of newsgroup. You will create a lot of enemies this way. Perhaps you are
new to the Internet, but such unsolicited ads have been around for quite a
while and have picked up the nickname "spam."
The example you mailed to the list is a particularly onerous version known
as a chain letter, promising something for nothing. It is a waste of time
and bandwidth. You may have noticed that I altered the subject line to
reflect the real message behind the one you originally sent.
