A mythical conspiracy accused by spam-spewers
of funding anti-spam activism in order to force the direct-mail promotions
industry back onto paper. Hackers, predictably, responded by forming a
Lumber Cartel
spoofing this paranoid theory; the web page is
http://come.to/the.lumber.cartel/. Members
often include the tag TINLC (There Is No Lumber Cartel
) in
their postings; see TINC,
backbone cabal and NANA for explanation.
