[Complaint to ICI.NET] Re: REMOVE US FROM MAILING LIST

Dear 'postmaster',

The CC'ed user 'snowman@ici.net' has (or still is at the time of
writing) been spamming to few (at this moment 2) high volume
mailinglists. I anticipate the mailinglist owners to send you similar
messages eventually, but, hopefully preventing from any flamewar or
numerous responses to both CC'ed mailinglists I'm sending it to you now.
Please make sure that this user is calmed down, he/she is obviously a
very frustrated person that doesn't know how to read (the unsubscribe
method from both mailinglists that he requests in his post is at the
bottom of each message on both mailinglists). Regardless of how
surprised I am that a person who doesn't know how to read does know how
to type a subject line, I do believe that people who don't know how to
read should in a friendly but very clear way be told by their ISP that
the internet may not be the medium of their choice to communicate and
that bugging other people with their lack of communicationskills is, I'm
sorry to say it, rather anti-social.

Friendly Regards,
Fred Leeflang

PS: I have included the message this user sent, it does not contain any
polite question on how to unsubscribe from either list, merely a few
quoted lines of messages sent earlier. This confirms my initial guess
that this user does not know how to read and probably has a big problem
with writing too.
