I take your point, but there can never be too many complaints. There
was a 14 hour gap between the time the spam was done and we first
heard anything from Garry. It has now been nearly two days and all
we've heard is "sorry, we sent it to the wrong list by mistake". He's had
more than enough time to clear this issue up. It is time to appeal to his
providers. But as you said, there's no point in forwarding someone
else's copy.
