  [address and phone number of this doctor(?) deleted]

  [annoying addvertisement for over-the-phone weight loss
   counseling deleted: sounded just like the type of
   ads you see on late night television]

Everyone on the net must have seen this ad by now.  It has been
posted in numerous groups, always as a reply to a subject with
no bearing what-so-ever to weight loss.  
What can be done about a JERK like this??
I have added news.admin to the already extensive list of groups
that this goes to in hopes that someone in a position of authority
will be able to do something to this guy.
I have sent a private flame to garyt.

With all of the net-posters employed by AT&T, surely someone
knows who this guy is.  Please rip his head off and stuff
it up his ass!

I think I will also call this doctor's number and tell him
of this ad, find out if he new anything about it, and give him
an ear full either way.

If you get the impression that this blatant misuse of the net
pisses me off, you got it right!
