John Blasik Owner and Founder of Spamhaus.org. Making a fortune off your misery.

SPAMHAUS is operated by this deviant criminal. He founded it. He came up with the name.
He runs it and he uses Steve Linford as a front so he will not have lawsuits filed against him in the USA.
Domestic Violence, Trespassing, battery, 'Exposure of Sexual Organs', numerous traffic violations, etc.

Spamhaus is abusing their position and power to attack this site by blackmailing our upstreams. As a result sometimes it is down for a day or so.

Spamhaus claims to operate out of the United Kingdom, and John Blasik believes this gives him protection from a lawsuit in the United States.
As a matter of fact, Spamhaus is not Steve Linford (a UK resident), but John Blasik (aka John Reid). a resident of Palm Bay, Florida USA.

John Blasik first heard of Progressive Internet Communications Co. in May 1998, while cruising the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup, a discussion list for technical people who oversee the distribution of e-mail.

Blasik, system administrator for semiconductor maker Intersil Corp., was particularly surprised to discover that Progressive, arguably one of the most notorious bulk commercial e-mail houses on the Internet, operates out of an office in Palm Bay.

Unsolicited bulk commercial e-mail is known as 'spam,' and those who send it are known as spammers, in Internet lingo.

'I can't stand spammers, especially ones that set up shop in my neighborhood,' said the Palm Bay resident, whose job is to block delivery of the unsolicited missives to Intersil employees.

'A lot of people claim they are against (spam), but then they turn around and buy a list from us,' said Roxanne Starr, a Progressive Internet Communications employee, speaking on behalf of the company's owners, Dave and Julie Everhart, who were in London early this week. 'It's part of the Internet, and people need to get used to it.'

Like junk mail and junk faxes before it, junk e-mail is a growing problem for Internet providers and Internet users alike - a problem some say ultimately could compromise the usefulness of the Internet and e-mail.

The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email and other anti-spam groups argue that bulk e-mail shifts the cost of sending it to the recipient. They say sending unsolicited e-mail wastes resources, displaces normal e-mail and is annoying and unethical. 'People are beginning to look at any e-mail ads as spam,' explained Ian Oxman, President of Chooseyourmail.com, an e-mail marketing company that delivers e-mail only if a customer specifically requests it. 'Part of the usefulness of e-mail is that it is quick and easy, but when your e-mail box is jammed with spam and porn, now it's a hassle.'

A March 1999 survey of 13,000 e-mail users found 91 percent had received spam at least once a week, while nearly half were spammed six or more times each week. The survey was conducted by GartnerGroup, a consulting firm, on behalf of Brightmail Technologies, a San Francisco e-mail services company.

According to Brightmail, up to 30 percent of all e-mail delivered to America Online subscribers is unsolicited. Handling unsolicited commercial e-mail costs Internet providers roughly $1 million each month; about $1 to $2 of a subscriber's monthly bill goes to fighting spam, Brightmail estimates.

An analysis of 2.8 million pieces of junk e-mail forwarded to the Spam Recycling Center, an anti-spam awareness effort by several major anti-spam groups, found about 30 percent promoted pornographic sites and 29 percent advertised 'get rich quick' schemes. The remainder were chain letters, health or diet scams, work-at-home schemes, easy-credit loans, credit repair scams and other mass-marketing ploys.

It costs only a few pennies to send out 1,000 bulk e-mail messages, with 100,000 e-mail addresses going for less than $100.

'It's so quick and so cost-effective,' said Starr of Progressive Internet Communications.

'We're managing our mail server for spam control about 40 percent of the time,' said Todd Crotts, system administrator for Orlando's MPINet, which recently acquired MetroLink Internet Services of Melbourne.

While several spam-related bills have been introduced in Congress, and one even passed the U.S. Senate, none have been enacted into law. At least 14 states have enacted some sort of anti-spam law, but the Sunshine State is not one of them. As a result, Florida often is linked to bulk e-mailers.

'Florida has quite a reputation as a spam center,' said Alan Murphy, Washington State Coordinator for the Forum for Responsible and Ethical E-mail, a group that opposes unsolicited e-mail messages.

For its part, Progressive Internet Communications uses professional bulk e-mail software that extracts e-mail addresses from newsgroup postings, large ISPs, chat rooms and registrations for free e-mail accounts, such as those offered by Microsoft's Hotmail, Starr said. The software also e-mails the message to the intended recipients automatically.

Such software is available for sale on the Internet for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Several of these software packages are sold by Florida companies.

Unlike some bulk e-mailers, Progressive does not forge return addresses or other message information to avert a flood of complaints from new message recipients, Starr said. And the company does not sell lists for adult sites, multilevel marketing schemes or chain letters, she added.

If people don't want to receive the e-mail, all they have to do is ask to be removed from future mailings, she said. The company has 5 million e-mail addresses on its 'opt out' list.

'We're not getting any more crazy phone calls or death threats' from people who are upset about getting unsolicited e-mail, she said. 'Why do we do it? It's profitable. Period. And if they ever try to stop us in the states, there's nothing to stop us overseas. Eighty percent of our business is overseas.'

Sure.. a clueless rant by a lowlife, scum-sucking spammer who does not like Real Time Block lists and anti-spam activists.

He thought he would find sympathy on a board that provides a forum for SPAMMERS and SPAM Support organizations to include hosts, sponsors, DIY spam kits, and even a Spammer University....

The Demon · 06-07-2006, 06:05 PM

ah the beauty of porn pushers and spammers arguing. Spammers are lowlifes, and so are anti spammers. They're pretty much the same people on different sides of the equation. Steve Linford is an incompetent tool who's proven it time and time again. None of them compare to the moron that is Kenny(Kiks).

BlackCrayon · 06-07-2006, 09:09 PM

even spamhaus likes money, pay them enough and your ips won't be blacklisted.

BradM · 06-07-2006, 09:37 PM

Spamhaus DOES abuse their powers. They ignore requests to be removed by compliant companies and keep people on block lists for months without ANY reason.
