	This is the JargonFile ^(V4.47) entry for Lumber Cartel - Next: lunatic fringe, Prev: Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology
:Lumber Cartel: 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.
