Well said and he will not remove you-infact he was rude to me when I asked
him to do so............................anyway, all said and done I also hit
"Block Sender".

I was so sure that I would not be removed that I didn't bother to
send
John and email. I simply clicked "Block Sender" under the Message
Header in
Outlook Express. This automatically adds the originating address to a built
in rule that sends the email to the "deleted" mailbox.
If hijacking a mailing list isn't illegal it should be. John has in
essence
returned himself to a list that he was removed from for cause. This
cause wasn't what he was removed from his cc position for rather it was
abuse of this list. Despite the fact that there were repeated requests to
"take it off list" he continued to send to the list most of the time with
insufficient time between one post and the next for someone else to get a
word in edgewise. Even if he was eventually vindicated in his position as a
CC(which I don't anticipate) the way he treated the rest of the list was
wrong.

Subject: [GAGEN] John Rigdons unwanted emails
Hello Everyone
I am sure some of you just like myself have asked to be removed from
John
Rigdons mailing list.
John has not responded to my request therefore I am taking another
course of
action.
First of all let me encourage each of you to visit
www.spamlaw.com for
more
information on spam laws in your state. No FEDERAl laws have been
passed at
this time but many of you have State laws that require someone to
remove
you
if you request it.
If you live in the following states you do have recourse and can sue
John
for failing to remove you.
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Idaho
Illinois
Iowa
Louisiana
Maryland
Missouri
Nevada
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Tennessee
Utah
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
For the rest of you I would encourage you to set a filter that will
automatically send emails from gagen(a)researchonline.net to the trash
can.
You can also contact your email provider to let them know that you
are
receiving junk mail from this domain name and they can add it to there
filter causing all of his email to bounce back to him.
If I had chosen to be a part of John's mailing list that would be one
thing
but I didnt request this and he will not remove my name. I also saw
where
other people had requested to be removed and he refused.
If I can be of any help to anyone please let me know. I can lead you to
someone that can help each of you legally and am willing to teach anyone
to
set filters on there email program that may not know how to do
this.
This
has gone beyond a GAGENWEB issue and is know a criminal issue
Thanks
Scott Warren
