RE: fishing hooks

["Anderson, Tim TL33E" <Tim.Anderson@ace-ina.com>]

Normally I'd agree - I hate spam as much as anyone - but this was so bizarre
and out of context I thought it was hilarious.  I thought the att must have
been a virus but it was a nice picture of chinese fishing hooks.

	This is ridiculous !

	We cannot afford to have our list jammed with all sorts
	of disconcerting advertisments !

	I have written the mail below to Mr Pang Li directly in
	his personal mail. I don't know if it will help.  If we
	stay quiet it will set a bad precedence/ trend. WE NEED
	TO ACT ... and unitedly.

	I suggest that all of shout back at Mr Pang Li, in ones
	own personal capacity (without cc to this list) and jam 
	his box so that he does not  repeat this  sort of stunt
	on us or any other list for that matter.

	Any other suggestions ?
