Well, apparently a lot more than I can expect from you. If you had taken
a moment before issuing your anti-spam diatribe, you would have realized
your attack was uncalled for.
The WebWinds groups doesn't produce commercial software, but rather they
distribute FREE platform-independent visualization software useful to
astronomers (which is why NASA's government employees are involved) and
other scientists (explaining the message's placement in certain newsgroups
for sciences where visualization is important). The software handles,
among other image formats, FITS images, explaining its placement in the
sci.astro.fits group. All in all, the message was well targeted to those
groups who may have an interest in obtaining this FREE tool.
The message was not spam and your attack on the WebWinds group is uncalled
for. They provide a free service to those of us who can use the
visualization software...so "Spamfree", until you contribue something of
comparable value to the community, I suggest you crawl back to the hole
you came out.

fraudinfo at psinet.com (general frauds), pyramid at ftc.gov (MLM stuff)
enforcement at sec.gov (investment fraud), jccheezum at uspis.gov (chain letters)
net-abuse at nocs.insp.irs.gov (to report MMF senders as possible tax cheats)
