Wanna SPAM Usenet? Sign up with Shaw!



I wrote to Shaw ages ago and complained about their customers spamming my favourite newsgroups.

They replied with:

Based on the information provided, we have identified the
offending computer and will take appropriate action(s).

These actions may be:
- Issue a warning by email indicating a
complaint has been registered
- Issue a warning that service may be
suspended if activity continues
- Suspend or terminate Shaw Internet
connection to customer


But my favourite newsgroups are still full of spam from their customers. You can see from the snapshot above where all the ticked posts are from their network.

What the fuck is wrong with your system Shaw?

And why don't you do something about it?
