RL>People who hate fax advertising so much should buy a computer.  That
 RL> will give the ability to stop the expense of fax paper and never miss
 RL> a fax again because the machine was out of paper.
Yeah...right ! UNTIL you stop to think that magnetic media storage is like a
precious "platinum" commodity worth many more times the price of rolled fax
paper, that is ! Add-in the costs associated with the TIME it takes to remove
each and every unwanted fax file thus created from guys like yourself, and
what you end up with is a tremendous amount of ADDED work for others.
Sorry, fella, but I REJECT your premise: it is a false belief to begin with !
It (almost) sounds like you're trying to _justify_ junk faxing through a very
thick veil of ignorance galore.
 RL> the FCC to get the rules on fax advertising and either I did not
 RL> understand them or their is some basic misunderstandings on penalties
 RL> for violation there of.  The receiver of the fax has to notify the
 RL> sender who has to have his name and telephone number on the fax that
 RL> he no longer wants to receive the fax.  The sender is then required by
 RL> the FCC to keep a log of those people requesting not to be faxed to. 
 RL> If the sender violates that FCC rule, the receiver of the unwanted fax
 RL> came sue for his damages.  Not $500 dollars.  The $500 is a penalty
 RL> levied by the FCC as I understand it.
FWIW, Laurie Campbell and I are based in CANADA. What the FCC says does
NOT apply up here: we pay attention to the machinations coming out of
Ottawa with our CRTC. Mind, it is interesting to note the difference in
flavours dished-out vis a vis our CRTC and your FCC...
 RL> Chill out and let people make a legitimate living. 
NO WAY !
Neither Laurie nor I have ever once suggested that you _aren't_ entitled
to make a decent living. And nor have either of us ever once suggested
that your particular mode of business be outlawed or forever banished.
We all started-out on this particular thread because of certain (negative)
commentary offered by another Conference participant built around the premise
of how best to rout unwanted junk faxes. Somwhere along the way, Chapter
and Verse of Law came to be mentioned. We're _all_, I think, just
moments away from flamming each other as a direct result...and the
above-quoted passage from your message certainly doesn't help matters !
