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} for explanation.
