As Ewen McNeill put it,

[...] Meanwhile the reaction is hopefully a sufficient demonstration that sending advertising (spam) to "individuals who we have found on the New Zealand internet" is fairly counter productive if your aim is to attract new customers. Particularly when the spam goes to those involved in running the networks.

So hopefully there will not be a repeat.

The same could usefully be said of much of this thread's content. This thread has long since ceased to have any operational relevance it may just possibly once have possessed. I also see too little of the respect for other subscribers which the AUP requires. Repeat contributors who don't stop now can expect to see warnings as described in paragraph ten of the AUP. There are lots of high-volume forums on the interweb which aren't expecially focussed on a particular subject. This isn't one of them. - Donald Neal Donald Neal |Palmerdale: Are you in charge here?
