The "Editor in Chief's" response.
I emailed Monclair's Who's Who to complain about the spam and provided a link to this page and an opportunity to explain exactly what they are up to.
What I received was an offer for a free plaque. I could care less about these people or their plaques.
On another subject:
Truly strange, that the "Regaurds" is some sort of trademark for their spam.
A 2008 spam from Montclair's Who's Who posted online has this as the sign-off:
