Subject: child pornography

I received the attached email soliciting child pornography from one of your subscribers. I believe it is in response to the infamous "Child XXX" email, which I have archived for academic purposes at
http://faculty-web.at.nwu.edu/commstud/freespeech/units/four/kidporn.html

Please take appropriate action and notify me of it.

I've received your report of America Online e-mail abuse. Be advised that I've investigated the situation using America Onlines Terms of Service Agreement (TOS) and basic Netiquette principles as a guide. I've taken appropriate action on the members account, however, due to reasons of confidentiality, I am unable to disclose the nature of this action.

Thanks for taking the time to report this matter to America Online.

Thanks,
Have a good one,
