Lumber Cartel

   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.
