Dear managers, I came in on Sunday a.m. when the Internet is generally
quiet:) There waiting for me is an FDA (?) approved advertisement on
our mail group on Clean 'n Clear, a drug cleaning system for your body.
Before, we start getting tons of e-mail on our group about this problem
and filling our mailboxes on complaints, I thought we should take a couple
of steps. 1. Flame the advertiser with about 50 mail messages.
              (Especially the Europeans early Monday a.m.)
           2. Don't complain to this group. We're taking action.
           3. Get back to alpha unix problems.

I hoped I stopped an avalanche of complaints. I like this group even
with the growth of users. Flaming advertisers is the only way so far
to stop our group from being wrecked.

Thanks

Concerned Alpha OSF/Manager
