I haven't written to abuse@mediaone.net yet because I am
wondering how much we as the community should do, and how
much Brad Justus will want TLC as a company to do.  I haven't seen
much discussion of that.  In absense of any recommendations
from our community to do otherwise, I  believe I will
compose my email to mediaone.net tomorrow complaining about

they are electronically posted and added to or modified from time to
time. You agree not to use the Road Runner Service, including but not
limited to the equipment and software provided by MediaOne:

(j) to, with respect to electronic mail messages, engage in sender
address falsification, unauthorized relaying or sending, or permit to
be sent on Your behalf, to any mailing list, news group or other
end-users: (1) "spam" or any other unsolicited, unwanted and/or
unrequested mass or bulk distribution e-mail or posting, for
commercial or advertising purposes, or (2) any e-mail messages
otherwise in violation of applicable laws regulating "spam" or similar
transmissions;

Maybe this is a little gray, because it's in respect to "e-mail", but
I would believe the same should hold true for Usenet news.  Our
troll/worm/slimeball falsified his e-mail address in his posts...
