               merely making one's e-mail address
               accessible to the public shall not
               constitute a request or invitation to
               receive messages.

               2.3.1.3. Member specifically agrees
               that he/she/it will not utilize the

               substantially similar unsolicited
               message to 50 or more recipients or
               15 or more newsgroups in a single
               day. Members responsible for these
               acts may be terminated at

               violated, Member agrees to pay
               EarthLink Network $10.00 per day
               for an unintentional violation of this
               provision, but where warranted,
               such as in the case of an accidental
               transmission, EarthLink Network
               may waive all or part of the
               applicable charge. In cases of willful
               violations of this provision, Member
               agrees to pay EarthLink Network
               $200.00 per day. EarthLink
               Network at its sole discretion shall
               determine whether such a violation
               was unintentional or willful.
               Payment by member under this
               provision shall not prevent
               EarthLink Network from seeking to
               obtain other legal remedies against
               member, including other damages
               or an injunction.

     frivolous, excessively vulgar, or repetitious
     postings.

     2.11. Posting of binary, or excessively large,
     unrelated text files to non-binary news
     groups that have specifically requested such
     material not be posted in the group's FAQ
     (Frequently Asked Questions).
