Normally I'd agree - I hate spam as much as anyone - but this was so bizarre
and out of context I thought it was hilarious. I thought the att must have
been a virus but it was a nice picture of chinese fishing hooks.

This is ridiculous !
We cannot afford to have our list jammed with all sorts
of disconcerting advertisments !
I have written the mail below to Mr Pang Li directly in
his personal mail. I don't know if it will help. If we
stay quiet it will set a bad precedence/ trend. WE NEED
TO ACT ... and unitedly.
I suggest that all of shout back at Mr Pang Li, in ones
own personal capacity (without cc to this list) and jam
his box so that he does not repeat this sort of stunt
on us or any other list for that matter.
Any other suggestions ?
