Thank you Garry for helping stop the proliferation of Spam. If everyone did just a small part just as you did maybe there is a chance we could at least make a dent in it. Until Spam has the same accountability as regular physical mail I'm afraid the problem will only get worse.

Hello,

I saw that you participated in the SETI@Home program and I invite you to join our Team that we have just created. We are currently 64 members, and more than 20000 work units were already sent back by the members.

We are working on a web site which here the address: http://vincent.pit.free.fr/
It will be available in some days.

I hope having news from you and that you will join us.
Good luck for the continuation.

Hello.

My name is Sean. I am a member of the SETI Team for AnandTech.
It is a big, international team, with members from many different countries.

During the last year, we moved up to the top 5 in the World Standings, and
became over 2500 members strong.

I want you to know, we don't process all these Work Units just to have a good
place in the rankings. We all want to find out if there is any Extraterrestrial
Intelligence out there or not. We also want to participate in all the other scientific
experiments and findings that this project has also discovered.

Of course being in a team like this, the high rankings, constant daily battle to gain
places, and prevent others from gaining on us. Also there are many races, and
statistics that many of our fine members provide us with, in order to bring fun,
enjoyment, and a little friendly rivalry to the Team.

We have done all this by not email spamming members of other Teams into joining us,
we have the number of members that we do because we have a great bunch of people,
great stats, team mates that would, and have, literally saved the lives of our team mates.

I know this is an unusual proposition.
If this email is an annoyance, please note that all your spam is just as annoying to those
recieve your badly worded email.
If you haven't deleted this yet, please think about how annoying it was to recieve and
have to read this.

Regards,

***************************************************************
Thanks a lot for your answer. My mail is not a spam. I just want to inform people that they could join us in a new team that all.

I hope we are going to find soon little green man. Good continuation in the project.
Bye.
Damien.
