One of the members of my CASWELL listserve has written to
texas.com,
complaining about the adult site Spam we just received.
Could I ask everyone to write to
texas.com complaining about this. There are
over 250 members of the Caswell listserve and goodness knows how many more
in Rootsweb lists.
Send your complaint (Or just copy Mary's letter - see below) to:-
webmaster(a)texas.com

Hi Mike
I don't know if I got the spam mail from "Cherry Pit" (gawd,
whataname!!) or not. Most of the time I just delete them. But once in a
while I'm inspired to try and nail them!
I've written an email query via texas.com's online service.
Maybe they
can stop this bozo. I know its only one of thousands out there who prey
on listservers to grow their spam lists, but hey if this jerk can be
shut down, then thats one less to deal with, eh? I've got nothing
against people having whatever kind of website they wish, but the spam
mail is an invasion of privacy.
Maybe you've written them already. The more the merrier!

Hi
Hope you can help us.
I'm a member of a genealogical reseach group. One of the founders
received solicitaion to an adult site via our listserve. If you can
contact the person responsible and prohibit further use of our
listserve, we would very much appreciate it.
I volunteered to inform you of this spamming going on with our listserve
and perhaps with others. The culprit appears to be qay66(a)texas.net
(Cherry Pit). Here is the message as it was forwarded to me from the
founder:
