Section 227 also says:
[It is illegal]
  to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a
  telephone facsimile machine unless such person clearly marks, in a
  margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page of the message or  
  on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent
  and an identification of the business, other entity, or individual
  sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine
  or of such business, other entity, or individual.

Now, *your* message didn't include your telephone number. If you are
willing to take section 227 to the letter, you can start by paying
$1500 to each and every member of this mailing list.
