I hate to repeat myself, but...Please, just forward any spam arriving in this fashion to a list ofthe various editors at Cnet. Then, and only then will the problem be addressed. Right now they consider this to be a "service" that they offer!
Paul Shupak track@plectere.comI don't think it's right to spam other people. Report them to their abuse address, the media, slashdot, etc.

Jeff,
In general, I agree with your statement. Maybe I should have said to send a note, and append the spam.
This is I feel a special case, because CNet *is* the media! Sending mail to abuse@, slashdot, etc. will likely be ignored as long as they consider this a service (from a telephone call to them - a low level tech. who "asked" a supervisor, and didn't want to forward me - seem quite bothered by the whole process and left a bad taste in my mouth).
It seems that the editors are *exactly* the people to send copies to. I did originally note that I left off the list the names and email addresses of executives as they did not seem appropriate (corporate types are neither the "media" or technical staff - so here we agree on at least part).
Beside, if you add a note, you are not spamming them, but merely "informing the media" just as you recommend:)
I'll give this more though (I have only gotten one so far).
Bye,
Paul Shupak track@plectere.com
