Sending Email To The Webmaster
Please note that "webmaster" is not an address for
technical support or product information. See
contact information for those addresses.
If you notice that we're charging $9999.99 for Slackware, have bad
links everywhere, or have a suggestion for how to improve our design,
then webmaster is the address for you (and I am very happy to handle
those sorts of emails).

Immediately remove our address from any mailing lists you may be using.
If you send junk mail to us, your email address will be recorded and
all future mailings will be charged $100.00 for message transmission
and storage services.
We will register a complaint with your Internet Service Provider.
Bills left unpaid after 30 days will be forwarded to your service

A second unsolicited email to this account will also result in action
against you under the terms of applicable U.S. law, including Title 47,
Sec.227(b)(1)(C) of the U.S. Code, as follows:
US Code Title 47, Sec.227(b)(1)(C):
"It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States to
use any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device
to send an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile
machine"
A "telephone facsimile machine" is defined in Sec.227(a)(2)(B) as:
"equipment which has the capacity to transcribe text or images
(or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular
telephone line onto paper."
Under this definition, an e-mail account, modem, computer and printer
together constitute a fax machine.
The rights of action are as follows. Under Sec.227(b)(3)(B):
"A person or entity may, if otherwise permitted by the laws or
rules of court of a State, bring in an appropriate court of
that State --
(A) an action based on a violation of this subsection or the
regulations prescribed under this subsection to enjoin
such violation,
(B) an action to recover for actual monetary loss from such a
violation, or to receive $500 in damages for each such
violation, whichever is greater, or
(C) both such actions. If the court finds that the defendant
willfully or knowingly violated this subsection or the
regulations prescribed under this subsection, the court
may, in its discretion, increase the amount of the award
to an amount equal to not more than 3 times the amount
available under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph."
