<a href="../S/spam.html"><i class="glossterm">spam</i></a>-fighters. Once upon a time, the 'Moose would
send out spam-cancels and then post notice anonymously to <tt class="systemitem">news.admin.policy</tt>, <tt class="systemitem">news.admin.misc</tt>, and <tt class="systemitem">alt.current-events.net-abuse</tt>. The 'Moose
stepped to the fore on its own initiative, at a time (mid-1994) when
spam-cancels were irregular and disorganized, and behaved altogether
admirably &#8212; fair, even-handed, and quick to respond to comments and
criticism, all without self-aggrandizement or martyrdom. Cancelmoose[tm]
quickly gained near-unanimous support from the readership of all three
above-mentioned groups.</p><p>Nobody knows who Cancelmoose[tm] really is, and there aren't even any
good rumors. However, the 'Moose now has an e-mail address
(<tt class="email">&lt;<a href="mailto:moose@cm.org">moose@cm.org</a>&gt;</tt>) and a web site (<a href="http://www.cm.org/" target="_top">http://www.cm.org/</a>.) By early 1995,
others had stepped into the spam-cancel business, and appeared to be
comporting themselves well, after the 'Moose's manner. The 'Moose has now
gotten out of the business, and is more interested in ending spam (and
cancels) entirely.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="cancelbot.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="candygrammar.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">cancelbot </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> candygrammar</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
