Lumber Cartel: n. 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.
