He can sign all of the deals that he wants. If he doesn't stop his illegal tactics of theft of services, he will be out of business -- we have contacted the local police department after the 3rd or 4th time he used our mail relay -- they believe that charges of theft of service will stick. We are holding off civil suits against cyberpromotions and their clients until criminal charges have been brought. Once he has been charged with criminal theft of service, we will sue both cyber promotions and their clients for damages. He speaks of first amendment rights -- he should pay more attention to laws regarding simple thievery. They will be his downfall.

And in Interactive Week today, I see Cyber Promotions just signed a three year deal with UUNet/Worldcom. Someone was quoted as saying they will have the capacity to "send 111 average-sized email messages per second".

Lovely.
