I absolutely agree.  This is the worst type of net-bashing I have seen
so far---these people are not pretending to be innocent: they added
an 'Approved:' header line so as to get through to every possible
news group without the intervention of moderators.

I think a severe punishment is in place here.  I think the providers of
cyber.sell.com should ban the entire site from the net for a few weeks,
so they're forced to take measures against the people who distributed
the ad.

If we don't stop this type of net abuse now we're going to have to live
with it in the near future...
