  About Balug-Talk   	

  This is a public discussion mailing list for Bay Area Linux User Group,
  [link]  which meets monthly in Chinatown, San Francisco. (If you want 
  to see announcements of upcoming meetings, you should also join
  balug-announce. [link])

  Linux jobs postings are welcome from companies intending to give a
  technical presentation at an upcoming BALUG meeting. If we see a
  job-offer posting from you, we expect to see a talk proposal [link] 
  around the same time. (Companies not prepared to speak may want to 
  post elsewhere, such as SVLUG Jobs [link] or BayLISA Jobs. [link]) 

So, are you about to e-mail balug-speaker-coordinators at balug.org with
an outline for an imminent technical presentation, or were you just
_ignoring the mailing list rules_?



Oh, and by the way:

This claim is infamously phony, and is known in anti-spam circles as a
"Murkogram".  Please see: http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/tek1/spam_and_law.htm

1.  The bill wasn't actually primarily about e-mail.  It was mainly about 
    telephone solicitations and "slamming".
2.  To the extent it addressed e-mail spam at all, it would have made
    some types _illegal_.  It would not have rendered any legal.
3.  In any event, the House of Representatives never ratified it, so 
    your claim that Congress passed it is fraudulent.

Inclusion of a Murkogram in your mailings will tend to mark your mail 
as, ironically, being almost certainly spam, because it is a longtime
favourite cover story used by professional spammers.
