That seems like such a small thing to me--some poor guy trying to make a buck. I never to spam emails...so easy to hit the delete key...and once in a while some of it's interesting--just like the junk mail in my snail-mail box. So spam is way down the list of things I get upset about. Carl http://askcarl.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2000 Report Share Posted February 28, 2000 Sorry, Folks, for the unsolicited email. I have to admit that out of laziness I had opened up the membership and had not been screening email addresses, or we would have never had such an obvious spammer on the list in the first place. Oh well, back to the former way, at least for the time being. This has been an interesting week, hasn't it? Does anyone know if there is some astrological phenomenon occuring?

Misunderstandings, missed appointments, mechanical things break down old unfinished business should be focussed on. Vivian* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can self-regulate, but it will take some tolerance. I got involved a while back against the rage-filled anti-spam groups... I'm not a conspiracy type, but it sure looked like they were tied into the Tax & Regulate folks, or at least used by them.

Question of perception - I don't regard this list as mail I regard it as open conversation so butting in with an advert is just plain old fashoned rude. Not to mention bad marketing.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 It's not just the spam, it's the fact that these people to a list and go on " no mail " , never intending to participate in the forum, only to regale everyone with their advertisements. As a list owner, this is very frustrating, especially as I have attempted to keep from screening members. So, the occasional jerk will get in the door, and I will have to give him a Melvin and show him the way out. Sorry about that.
