McDuck 0 #1 June 29, 2006 Anyone else hear about this? I've been getting inundated with shitty true.com emails today, so I decided to check into this further. Here's what I found. I'd copy the print here, but that's pointless with the link. The problem with "opt-out" methods is that I never can be sure they aren't phishing and then selling or passing my email off to other lists or companies. I'm less than thrilled about this.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Yeah - it's pointless - I agree that there should be regulations - but it's like speeding while driving - you just can't catch everyone and the cops usually let you slide until you break some invisible barrier.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dolph 0 #4 June 29, 2006 Just remember the first rule of spam fighting: "What the spam filter cannot stop, a baseball bat can". Opt out methods put the financial burden on the customer. Imagine if you had to pay postage for all the crap in your normal mailbox. Life has taught me that a baseballl bat is a multi tool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
