(Hopefully) the LAST msg to fudan.edu I have tried to avoid contributing to this problem but it now looks like it will go on forever if I don't inject one more message. The solution is NEVER SEND ANYTHING TO CSLIST@FUDAN.EDU If you are interested in the "why" continue to read the message I sent earlier. I plan to send Mr. Gao a message that he and any other students who use this time-wasting spam attack that he can forget about receiving materials from Clemson. >I have gotten two of these today. One from SUNY Buffalo and one >from UCSC.  (I also got an "original" from China) > >As near as I can tell here is what is happening: >Fudan has a mail distributer that Mr. Gao sends a message to >and the distributer sends the message to EVERY CS grad program >in the good ole USofA (maybe multiple messages!) > >Now if Ms. X       at SUNY or Ms. Y     at UCSC  or Dr. Westall >at Clemson inadvertently >sends their canned responses to cslist@fudan.edu rather than >gyqin@fundan.edu... then their reply is reflected back to everybody >on the original list and to make matters worse, Mr. Gao never >sees it and so he may try again! > >I don't think we will EVER stop this Chinese spam and so it would >appear that any of us who respond should be REALLY careful not to >respond to what looks like a list! > >Mike Westall >Professor of Computer Science and >Director of Graduate Affairs >Dept. of Computer Science >Clemson University > > >>Delivered-To: m7-cslist@fudan.edu >>Date: 25 Aug 1999 03:13:15 -0000 >>From: Gao Yongqin  >>To: cslist@fudan.edu >>Subject: Application Form Request >> >>To Who It May Concern, >> >>I am an applicant for the Ph.
