Lumber Cartel n.
A mythical conspiracy accused by
spam-spewers of funding anti-spam activism in order to force
the direct-mail promotions industry back onto paper. Hackers,
predictably, responded by forming a "Lumber Cartel" spoofing this
paranoid theory; the web page is
http://come.to/the.lumber.cartel. Members often include the
tag TINLC ("There Is No Lumber Cartel") in their postings; see
TINC, backbone cabal and NANA fo
explanation.
