Hey all, I just got spammed by Andreas Stabno; he's hawking a sale of his. The subject line is "KC Masterpieces". His message goes, "somehow when I wasn't looking the closet filled up with LEGO sets and it's time to sell all 138 sets that remain." Poor schlob. This is disgusting behavior, and I am personally disappointed that he would resort to such low measures, especially after the backlash from a similar situation a few years back. (See his apparently insincere apology at <http://news.lugnet.com/market/auction/?n=122>.) I have done business with him a year ago, but if this is the price of that business, I will never make that mistake again. "Fool me once, fool me twice" and all that. Anyway, I dunno if he harvested LUGNET for addresses, but there you are. Cheers, - jsproat -- Jeremy H.

(...) I got this also, but the thing is I don't mind. I bought some LEGO from him before and was satisfied with it. I feel its reasonable for him to send this out to people he has dealt with before, its should as simple as asking to get off his (...)

		Thanks but no thanks
Tom, Chris, Larry, Matt, and Todd (and others): thanks for your input. I really do appreciate it. Everyone else: Hey, you know what guys? Forget it.

		Re: Beware more SPAM from Andreas Stabno (Was: KC Masterpieces)
OK, OK Everybody just calm down a bit. This is just all out of proportions. According to the Lugnet rules your not allowed to use alias's or nicknames. You see a few of them around though. Is this a big deal? Are we going to be this picky? I am not (...) (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.auction)

		Distribution List Detonation
This thread certainly has exploded over the last few days and I have made an effort to read every post. Some have deeply infuriated me [1]; some provided for valuable new understanding; and overall it has been a valuable discussion. I've resisted (...)
