Dear 'Andy Garcia' (with copies to [log in to unmask],

as list owner of the asmi discussion list, I am disturbed by your unsolicited
message, as follows:

You know full well that this list -- like italian-studies and medieval-religion,
other lists that I help to manage -- is clearly not an open forum for commercial and
irrelevant posts such as the above. Your final sentence is doubly pathetic, because
you are fully cognisant that you are being a nuisance to thousands of members who
could not and should not care one bit for your message.
I note that within the past hour you have joined all three of these lists, and have
immediately sent a message to one of them (asmi). I have accordingly removed you
from all three lists noted above, and I am sending copies of this message to your
service provider, to Mailbase (funded, you should know, by the taxpayers of the
United Kingdom as a service to scholars, not to insipid commercial endeavours), and
to members of the three lists.
I ask members of these lists ***NOT*** to reply to this message to their respective
lists. If members wish to pursue the issue further, I ask them to write directly to
[log in to unmask] (the address of 'Andy Garcia'), with a copy of that message
going to [log in to unmask] I am sending a copy of this message to list
members in order to let them know that spamming (the sending of inappropriate and
unsolicited e-mail to large numbers of people with commercial profit as its sole
purpose) is not tolerated on our lists.
And if you don't mind, 'Andy Garcia', I'll get back to marking and recording
examination grades, rather than dealing with 'people' like you.
