Anybody else remembering Canter & Siegel* first hand? Boy was that a fun brouhaha. One of those situations where somehow the worst-case doomsayers manage to be right in pretty every respect except how horrible the worst cat will actually be.

I used to have a faux concert tour shirt where each "stop" was a USENET group that they hit (but not all of them).

Unfortunately it burned in my Hawaii house fire.

*For those who don't know, back in 1994 Canter & Siegel were two immigration lawyers credited with being the first commercial spammers (spam already existed).
