I don't have enough money to do the necessary lobbying by other means. actionnetwork.org has proved totally worthless -- no replies back from my enquires. The parts of the Canadian press that I have contacted (from Canada AM to others) have not responded. Mass email may be my only hope of getting my message accross. I must do something... Fascinating. Exactly what is this message that you absolutely must get across, to the point of spamming an entire nation? You read my mind comrade, but I'm not surprised you can. :-) -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

I wish there was another solution.
However, no other solution may be possible. Fascinating. Exactly what is this message that you absolutely must get across, to the point of spamming an entire nation? ============================== Does anyone know how to go about *mass emailing* addresses in the *.ca (Canada) domain? You do realize that you are talking about massive spamming? First you start with cross-posting to unrelated groups, and with a technical question to boot. That kind of foretells the state of your project. And of course, in the part I deleted, you've got the usual paranoia/justification that your message isn't being heard. You would get tremendous flack if you tried a mass emailing like this, and likely would lose our internet account. So there really isn't any point in saying it can't be done. Also take note that not every ISP in Canada uses the .ca domain. No, if your message is really important (and usually the importance goes down as the spamming goes up) you should be looking at traditional means of reaching the public, such as a letter to a newspaper, or press releases, or even buying ads.

However, no other solution may be possible. Why not post a short synopsis of this urgent message here, so non-Canadians can get the news as well? Is it an "end of the world" thing? Fascinating.

I wish there was another solution. However, no other solution may be possible. You still don't get it. If you think the only way is by spamming, then you have a way too exagerated sense of the importance of this message that still isn't clear. If you think the end justifies the means, then likely the end isn't really that important. You're already in the crackpot category here, with your posts that I haven't even bothered to read because they just look like junk. I think that says a lot about the so called importance of your message. If people don't yet know your message here, then you've failed at conveying your message, and using spam won't help one bit (and it will kill any chance you have because if people haven't already put you in the crackpot category, the spamming will). Now, asking how to spam a whole top level domain does get attention, because the concept is so stupid, let alone the question shows you don't really know much about it since there's no way of doing it automatically, and you won't reach all (maybe not even most?) Canadians with this ridiculous plan of yours. But if your previous posts that I (and likely others) were tuning out didn't put you in the crackpot category, hinting that you want to spam will. Any time someone says "I don't have any choice", usually they simply haven't looked around at what they are doing, and what they can do. If you aren't succeeding at getting your message out, there are two possibilities: a)nobody is interested in what you are saying (maybe because it's a crackpot idea, maybe because it doesn't match their interests) or b) you have not done an effective job of conveying your message. Note that last one. It does not mean getting louder and all that, it means you just aren't conveying the message in the first place, so it doesn't then get moved around by others. Michael |

"Mike Hack:"
If you actually wnat to get your point across, Write a short, coherent letter.. Put it in an envelope Put a stamp on it & mail it - YOUR Spam Plan sounds like some " Gonna Spam The World" with a Crackpot idea. - Guaranteed to fail, **** Off lots of people & totally discredit any legitimate proposal Nothing is more effective than a short, consice letter, cc'd to the right audience.. Harvey Subject: Does anyone know how mass email the *.ca (Canada) domain? Radio Canada International brodcasting proposal... From: "http://CBC.am/" Does anyone know how to go about *mass emailing* addresses in the *.ca (Canada) domain? It is for a Radio Canada International broadcasting proposal. URL in question: http://CBC.am/rci-bc.htm http://CBC.am/rci-sask.htm http://CBC.am/rci.htm The message would have text to cut and paste into a letter to the PM, External Affairs Minister and Cultural Minister. At the moment access to mass media in the US or Canada to pass along my proposal seems to be off -- for probably a myriad of reasons. |

External Affairs etc. the original poster is stuck in the past. Dave wrote: Spread the word! Ottawa is non-existent... especially welcome news in Alberta.
