A large IP address block originally assigned to the San Francisco Bay Packet Radio Group has been seized by a spam operation.

"Digital real estate leased to one of the Internet's oldest landholders appears to have been quietly seized by e-mail marketers closely associated with an individual once tagged by anti-spam groups as one of the world's most notorious spammers."

At the end of the article, the author asks for help in contacting anyone associated with the packet radio group.
