Subject: Stop using this address.
To: Cyberstar-L@gmd.de

Greetings fellow victims.

It seems that we were are all the unforunate recipients of an unwanted
email spam, and that the spammer created some sort of mailing list in order
to reach us all. Unfortunately this was not a one-time thing but the list
seems to still be in existence, and every time one of us sends a message to
it (like "delete" or "unsubscribe"), everyone on the list gets emailed.

I have a simple solution: Let's all stop sending messages to
Cyberstar_L@gmd.de.

Then we won't get any more useless mail (from this address). I'm sorry to
have used this address myself in order to point this out, and I apologize
to anyone who's annoyed as I am with this inconvenience, but I decided a
message would be the best way .

By the way, you cannot remove yourself from a mailing list by sending
commands to the list itself, you need the address of the listserve in order
to do that. Since none of us know what that is, we're SOL.

Again, PLEASE stop sending email to Cyberstar_L@gmd.de and then we can all
stop receiving these messages.

PLEASE DON'T PROLIFERATE MESSAGES! There is no telling how many people were
subscribed to this list against their will. The moron who signed up all
these people needs to stop the list, unsubscribe everyone, do SOMETHING.
But if everyone keeps sending unsubscribe message to the entire list, it's
just going to waste hours and hours.

To:

i think that what the germans at cyberstar98 are really trying to point out
is that spamming, heretofore only practiced by scam artists and hackers, is
now a legitimate fine art form. to formalize this new movement, they have
brialliantly chosen a carefully selected list of artists, critics and
galleries to spam each other.

perhaps they have a category in cyberstar98 just for spamming.

I'm starting to think that this is a delicious hoax. A list to which no one
subscribed, a list which has thus far posted only pleas to be dropped from
the list. I too would like to be dropped from Cyberstar-L, but I am now not
so foolhardy as to ask. On the other hand, it seems to have an interesting
group of unwilling subscribers, so who knows...

I apologize for sending ANOTHER message, but in the original message
was, at the very beginning, this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please apologize if you receive this message twice, or if you have been
placed on this list inadvertently. If you want your adress to be
deleted,
please reply notifying "DELETE" as subject.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the reply-to adress was mailto:cyberstar@wdr.de

I haven't it tried out, but at least the messages won't reach all of us
innocent victims anymore. The only mistake, Monika Fleischmann did, was
setting up a mailing list instead of an address group on her computer,
so please be polite.

thanks a lot,
Christian.
