Degenerate MB sent us this:
"who is the arthur atkinson guy and how in the hell did he get our email address? no biggie, just saw he is soliciting through degenerate press."
Then two days later sent this: "Do you reckonize the email for tarpitz@hotmail.com.......or variation of the sorts. That's who arthur atkinson is...i just blocked him from my email since he's still f*cking sending me email...."

Hey, no need for *'s in this email, feel free to tell degenerate AA to fuck off with all U's firmly in place. I've had this kind of list abuse before, but this is the first time it's been from someone I actually KNOW. As mentioned last week, we won't tolerate ANYONE using our subscriber list. AA, this is your final warning - if anyone gets anything unsolicited from you and bitches to me about it you're off the list and I'll change the list alias.
