I'm interested. Obviously, the two of you are now settled in your trenches and looking for fresh ammo, preferably along the lines of a small nuke.<g> To be fair, their attempt to deal with the problem was (their past that now) professional but plagued with a surprising amount of contemporary ignorance that may have been born from a really nasty hurricane. Here's a little info to work with: Registrant: New Breed, Inc. (NEWBREED5-DOM) 4043 Piedmont Parkway High Point, NC 27265 US Domain Name: NEWBREED.COM Administrative Contact: Cline, Robert (RC8449) rcline@xxxxxxxxxxxx New Breed ISG 4239 Piedmont Parkway Greensboro, NC 27410-8112 US (336) 851-8852 fax: (336) 856-2408 Technical Contact: Colby, Joe (JCW647) jcolby@xxxxxxxxxxxx New Breed 4239 Piedmont Parkway Greensboro, NC 27410 US (336) 218-7535 fax: (336) 856-2408 Record expires on 12-Mar-2011. Record created on 22-Sep-2002. Database last updated on 19-Sep-2003 18:19:22 EDT. You've three choices about how to handle this: 1. Bit bucket, as you've done 2. Call the name of someone in the above output whom you *haven't* already spoken too 3. Call this number, (336) 821-4700, and talk to Customer Relations or, barring that, a Vice President *not* in the IT department. Relate the story, what you're attempting to do and be free enough with your own contact info that they will respect you as a legitimate person with a legitimate need. They aren't likely to give you the name or the email address of the subscriber but they may be more willing to launch a little informal broadcast question to their users and ask whoever it is to go unsubscribe themselves from the list. Here's where they are: http://www.smartpages.com/home/newbreedcorp1?ZoomLevel=7&CENTER_lat=360784 000&CENTER_lon=-799562999&Mode=Map&listingid= Bear in mind that you're likely to be experiencing some of your problem with this admin because most of their region is suffering from the effects of Isabel. She blew harder than either of you can and I'm expecting his/her day has sucked completely, therefore your problem looks trivial and is getting treated as such! Hope that helps!
