Don't forget....I am still looking for a single verifiable first person account from someone actually victimized by abusive junk fax. So far all of the stories I have tried to track down have been "friend of a friend" (FOAF) urban legend type stuff. All I have found is evidence of the ocassional ad from a fax paper seller in California. With all of the legislation concerning this "problem", can't just ONE victim step forward? (OOPS....I said "don't forget" above, and realized I may not have posted this stuff here before...just on alt.fax and various BBS echoes. I am trying to determine if the type of abusive junk fax publicized by the media is for real, or just urban legend).
