Summary: Gripe about unsolicited junk email advertising from "Suncoast"
Keywords: junk unsolicited advertising propaganda 
Organization: Computer Services Centre, Australian National University
Date: 16 Aug 92 23:42:32 GMT

I have just received some unsolicited junk email from a Sun-workstation
third-party/surplus equipment seller.  I am thoroughly outraged at this
use of the network, as it reduces the value and effectiveness of email.

Anybody who has received a copy of the following email, please reply to
the person involved "Brent Robinson" of your feelings on his emai.  If
a strong stand is not taken on this, others will follow (what a terrible
vision of the future !).

advertising garbage follows, only for the knowledge of who to complain
to and what my complaint was about.

Uggh ! , I'd forgotten about him. You bastard , its bad enough
having to know he once existed. Jesus Iain, dont you think the
prospect of walking past DAC in the supermarket is sickening
enough. Canberra is pitiful , a good place to live , but nevertheless
a pitiful source of intellect. Take the highschools and colleges,
the fact that the ACT has the highest average tertiary entrance
scores for the past 10 years underlines the lack of cultural
diversions for students. Highest average income for any city,
why ? , no bloody passion, struggling artists , street culture.
An above average place but cultureless on the surface, we live longer
but only a small percentage of us really *live* !!!

This aside, there is an underground, that wankers like Beckhouse
Clayton et al weren't privy... 

Iain, your net.persona is that of an opinionated fuckwit I notice
you dont research well. There seems to be breadth to your knowlege
but little depth. This suggests you probably work with computers ?

Evidently Tom does not look the evidence.  Pathetic naughtiness it certainly

want to take credit although in all humility and if pressed Eye would meekly

A watershed posting Iain, this occurred to me some years ago, the 
posters in this group, and others, seem to polarise into, 'thrill
seekers' and 'celebrities'. Current survey indicates 4-5 'thrill-
seekers' and some 5-8 itinerant celebs. So why am I saying this ?
, perhaps some of those seeking recognition might migrate to the
other camp and raise the fun factor ?
