Cancelmoose[tm]
 /kan'sel?moos/

    [Usenet] The archetype and model of all good spam-fighters. Once upon a
    time, the 'Moose would send out spam-cancels and then post notice
    anonymously to news.admin.policy, news.admin.misc, and
    alt.current-events.net-abuse. The 'Moose stepped to the fore on its own
    initiative, at a time (mid-1994) when spam-cancels were irregular and
    disorganized, and behaved altogether admirably ? fair, even-handed, and
    quick to respond to comments and criticism, all without self-aggrandizement
    or martyrdom. Cancelmoose[tm] quickly gained near-unanimous support from
    the readership of all three above-mentioned groups.

    Nobody knows who Cancelmoose[tm] really is, and there aren't even any good
    rumors. However, the 'Moose now has an e-mail address () and
    a web site (http://www.cm.org/.) By early 1995, others had stepped into the
    spam-cancel business, and appeared to be comporting themselves well, after
    the 'Moose's manner. The 'Moose has now gotten out of the business, and is
    more interested in ending spam (and cancels) entirely.
