    BBNPlanet is aware of what moneyworld.com is doing.  

    We can not just turn them off, for contract reasons.  They have been
    given 30 days from 21 July to clean up there act.  If by that time
    they have not, we will terminate there connection.

excuse me?  i've already sent this, but i'll post it to the list:

    I'm sorry, but that's not good enough.  You may have contractual
    obligations but that does not give those idiots the right to continue
    to spam.  Using your argument I should have the right to spam anyone I
    like until my telco cuts my Internet connection.

    It's rather like the Police saying:

       The guy has the right to commit felonies until his life expires,
       you'll just have to put up with it.

perhaps you can't spell 'conspiracy to spam' nor 'aiding and abetting'?
