This morning when I downloaded mail I found a UCE (Unsoliciated Commercial
Email) from a Company selling ferret gadgets.
 
This advertising has the endorsement of "The International Ferret
Association and Chuck Morton of Path Valley Farms".
 
I will be responding to the UCE in my usual fashion: a letter to the
administrative contact of this companyies ISP warning them to cease and
desist.
 
A lot of people think I am a crack-pot because I am rabidly against junk
email.  Its not a matter of not being able to just delete it.  I resent the
invasion of my space and time.  We have enough junk in our lives as it is.
 
I am extremely distressed that the IFA would allow the use of its name for
junk email.
 
I apologize if this is slightly off topic.

[Moderator's note: I doubt the endorsements were legitimate, but I suppose
they could be.  If other people received copies of this I'd appreciate a
copy and I'll see if I can make any sense out of it.  I'm quite anti-spam
and never make the list addresses available to anyone... though, of course,
if you post, your address is known.  BIG]
