I can see why they take a hard line with spammer.
Thats the basic gist of what happened but as I say I don't know the hows or whys.

Hahaha. Wasn't me, but i think I know who that coulda been. its ok .. he's got his own spambox in the states now.
Telstra is a fucking joke. Even access through telstra is so badly overpriced it's stupid. Whats with these 3 gig/month caps on broadband? Already paying $110 per month for Adsl. Gotta do something about this prehistoric internet access we seem to have to stick with. Had a mate who got cable (3 gig/mo limit) and burned 7 gig. He got a bill for something like $1100 !
