		<description>Excellent post.  And as a fellow IT/ Network Admin, the ignorance of dealing with this is uncalled for.  There are ways around this other than just blanket banning Yahoo email addresses.  Staying one step ahead of the spammers is the key, not pinning the spam on one domain of email accounts.

		<description>Well said, Lex. It&#039;s awful enough for the author to have their email account hacked to begin with but to be banned for something that they had no control over is inexcusable. Especially because this past week it&#039;s happened to so many authors. Ignorant is right.</description>

		<description>I had to remove one from my newsletter yesterday. What ticked me off about it is that my newsletter is set to membership pending approval. This chick signed up, said she was interested in my work, then began spamming my newsletter. Yup, I really want to buy some Viagra and meet Asian girls, for God&#039;s sake.

		<description>Oh, what a good point!
Groups who do NOT ban blatant, illegal promos, but DO ban accidental spammnig.

Well said, Lex!

They invite, with open arms, the intentional abusers, but ditch the innocent. 

Good blog.

		<description>Loved the post Lex. Straight up and to the point. Group owners need to realize these people are victims and if they could prevent the spamming they would have. Instead the owners should focus on stopping the people who spam deliberately, saturating the groups with endless excerpts...Grrr!!!</description>

		<description>Well said. I think sometimes the human equation is left out and stupidity just plain takes over. These group owners who ban people just because of a spamming mistake aren&#039;t worth knowing. And these are the same group owners who allow promo by authors who are breaking the rules. Their cronies, apparently.

		<description>Some groups claim to have zero-tolerance policies concerning spam, so they&#039;ll delete anyone who spams, regardless of whether the email was spoofed or not.

Unfortunately, some of those &quot;zero-tolerance&quot; loops do tend to tolerate robo-posts from authors who promoblast their books until some loops look like nonstop advertisements. Guess their definition of &quot;spam&quot; doesn&#039;t include &quot;rude, inconsiderate authors who think they&#039;re entitled to smack the entire universe in the face by disobeying rules to sell their books.&quot;

Zero tolerance policies don&#039;t work anyway. When it&#039;s documented that spoofing is making the rounds of Yahoo email addies, group mods/owners should take that into account when deciding whether to ban someone. It isn&#039;t as though we&#039;re sitting here saying, &quot;Hey, spoofers, come steal my email so you can spam everyone.&quot;

		<description>Wow. Interesting concept.  With your talent, I am for sure you can pull it off.

I don&#039;t think -- off hand anyway, I remember reading a book quite like you have explained.

I&#039;ve read JL Langly&#039;s With/Without werewolf series, where the main couple of one book are secondary couples in the next, and barely mentioned in the third.

But to take a strong personality, main character of three books and put him in a secondary roll?
Yeah - you could do it!  (me? I&#039;d make puppy chow out of it!)

BTW - BEAUTIFUL web site. Very nice, clean, cool color and just perfect!</description>
