The ipsc-managers mailing list is dedicated to discussion of the Intel
iPSC parallel supercomputer line. As you might imagine, junk email is
not welcome in our discussions. The user abacus@abacus.net dispatched
a 1300-line piece of junk mail to the ipsc-managers list this weekend,
selling a subscription service on behalf of susie@ixc.net.
I find this blatant disregard of common courtesy appalling. Samantha
and Susie - please refrain from doing this sort of unwelcome adverti-
sing in the future. Postmasters - please provide Samantha and Susie
with some assistance in finding the *proper* places for their sales
pitches. I recommend the biz.* hierarchy of Usenet and the various
"for sale" mailing lists and newsgroups.
Take it somewhere else...please?
Regards,
Wes Morgan
