Win95 FAQ home page

Your United States tax dollars at work. Not for you, mind you. A Bill in the United States Senate tries to legalize unsolicited e-mail, more commonly known as spam.

Think this is bad news? Yes. It's bad enough I had to strip all the e-mail addresses off the Win95 FAQ pages just to prevent the spammers from stealing them.

Both the Forum for Responsible and Ethical Email and the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email have details on this, and how American citizens can stop it.

The Great American Pinkout has begun. Officially launched June First 1998, this movement attempts to show just what your Congress has in store for your e-mailbox. Tell them you mean otherwise! Join the movement by:

• Reading the two links above
• Visiting the Official Pinkout Site and lettermailing your US Congress Representatives
• Linking to the same pages from your own site
• Setting your pages' background colour (BODY BGCOLOR tag) to FFA5CC (A horrid shade of pink)
• Also linking to Cabal Network Security with a banner
• Joining the FREEMAIL mailing list
• Joining the Spam Protest Webring
• Reading news.admin.net-abuse.email
• (Don't post to news.admin.net-abuse.email unless you know what you're doing)
• Complaining about your junk e-mail to whoever sent it (use the Sam Spade, Spam Hunter tools)
• Also complaining to ISPs who provide connectivity for spamvertised web sites
• NOT doing anything illegal, like mailbombing or other Denial of Service
• Finally, visiting Find The Spam to find out I DON'T mean Hormel's Spam(tm)
