news@tis.llnl.gov (Usenet News Admin) (05/03/88)
The following is a copy of mail that I sent to {usenet,root}@ihlpa.ATT.COM:
Last week I sent mail to you regarding a Usenet message posted by
ihlpa!garyt (Gary Theis) which was a commercial announcement and thus
prohibited. The message was cross-posted to a large number of
inappropriate newsgroups. It appears this message was posted at least
*12* times, each as a followup to a random, unrelated article. Copies
of the headers are appended to this message; in each case the message
body (which follows the last header) was the same.
As this is a gross abuse of Usenet, and involves the replication of
commercial announcements which many sites are prohibited from
carrying, and since the message was obviously (from inspection of the
headers) posted erroneously, I have caused the messages in question to
be cancelled by technical means, and will post this message to
news.sysadmin to inform the community.
I strongly urge you to advise Mr. Theis to clean up his act.
Thank you.
