A cease and desist mail to every one of those email addresses is called for plus insist that Shawn Jackson removes all and every one of your posts-mails.
It's the only way he's going to be stopped and stopped he should be.
He had the cheek to post this into soc.gen.brit yesterday
No one has used his site, so that's a lie. He doesn't have thousands of members, let alone thousands using it daily; nor are they contributing freely. He's stealing posts. My guess is that the vast majority of his so called members don't even know about this web based forum or what he's doing. He doesn't know the difference between a web based forum and a newsreader (or google groups, come to that.) Basically he's talking out of his backside and when he first mooted this idea he was told both by this group and by soc.gen.brit that he was re-inventing the wheel.
Oh and Jackson is his so-called support group!! I don't believe he has a partner who inserted the "smart tags" either.
The more people who take action against him the better IMO.
