In case any of you were bothered at receiving the preceding mass commercial
e-mailing on BEE-L:

I've acquired a little relevant information about the individual
responsible; I have no reason to suspect the following information is not
true, though I cannot of course guarantee it:

In other words, this would appear to be an individual who has committed
extensive net-abuse in the past, and a number of complaints from BEE-L
subscribers directed to [log in to unmask] might be a useful thing (since Mr.
Smith is himself the postmaster at DJSA.com, his own private site).
Complaints should cite the original posting, not this follow-up.
Sincerely,
