| Spamming
Policy |
I
have a Zero
Tolerance
for spam originating from my customers
or for any spam advertising of the web
sites of my customers. I strongly believe
that the usability of the Internet is
dependent on the suppression and
elimination of UCE (Unsolicited
Commercial E-mail) from the newsgroups
and E-mail of both casual and heavy
Internet users. |

I will forward
the first complaint to you. If I don't
receive a response indicating the
complete
resolution of the complaint within 24
hours I will suspend your account on the
server.On the second
complaint I will suspend your account and
send you notice.
On the third complaint I will
suspend your account indefinately.

All abuse
notices about spam complaints will be
sent to the email address that you signed
up with
or the one that I have on file. You must
keep current the contact information we
have on file for you.E-mail,
