RE: WeedBoy Dilemna(please read this if you are disatisfied with

Sorry, Mark. I assumed everyone here was intelligent enough either to hide
their identity by forging email and at the very least not mention wear-hard
in their letter. These are AOL users - for most part(I don't want to
reinforce any negative stereo-types too strongly), they are the
technological and intellectual bottom-feeders of the net. I would not fear
repercussions too much. I think AOL is too large for them to even bother
with small-time mail-list abusers, so that is not a solution. Digitally, I
find it is often times better to take the law into your own hand so to speak
- what law?!?!

			Just a thought, but might this action also backfire?
Conceivably,
		some of the other 30-odd people on weedboy's list are also
into the same
		sort of chain letter humor, and they may start posting other
off-topic
		items on this list.  Perhaps a better course of action would
be to report
		these incidents to the sysadmin(s) at AOL and tell them that
weedboy007 is
		posting chain letters in a list where they are unwanted
(read: spamming).
		Does anyone else have any better ideas?
