Jeremy, would you please forward me the email message, I did not recieve the
spam. I should take action and at least send out a mailing to members, if not
try to track these guys down. That is a CLEAR abuse of the Webring -- I don't
know how they got the email addresses except right off of sites through the
ring. I'll definitely look into this.
Any ring members who have recieved this, please report it to me immediately at
tcourtney@avenew.com.
