[semi-non-op] 9netave junk fax

I gather than 9netave, a web hosting company in New Jersey, sent out last week large numbers of junk faxes to numbers scraped from WHOIS. I certainly got one, even though my listing says "NO FAX ADS $500 PENALTY". As you probably know, junk faxes are both unethical and illegal. You can sue for up to $1500 per junk fax under 47 USC 227. A friend and I are trying to put together a group suit to encourage them not to try steal customers that way. If you got one of these and still have it, please email either me or Ray Everett-Church, ray () everett org.
