    Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Gloria Summers
    (...) He's not a rude guy. I have bought some Lego from him in the past and the deal went very well. He's giving a real offer and I'm keeping his mail in case there's something I want. If you don't trust his offer and are not interested, then (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
   
        Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Eric Kingsley
      (...) Well I agree that LUGNET is a public forum and that is why he should have posted here. I am sorry but my E-mail is not a public forum for people to send me unwanted E-mail. Also he may be a good dealer but that doesn't mean I want his E-mail. (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
    
         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I'm of two minds here. I totally agree with Eric, and yet I wasn't personally bothered by the mail from Helge, rather I welcomed it. Perhaps in the far future the following facilities will all be available on Lugnet: (read the Plan, it hints (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
    
         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Todd Lehman
      (...) Excellent idea! Probably no way to enforce it, but still worth mentioning as it is important to discourage this by default. --Todd (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
     
          Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Charles Eric McCarthy
      (...) So if someone posts something about something they built, but didn't ask for comments, and then I email them to ask how they built it, that would be a violation of the Terms, or even a crime? That doesn't sound appropriate to me. /Eric McC/ (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Jeremy H. Sproat
       (...) No, I think the key phrase here is "unsolicited COMMERCIAL e-mail". Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Eric Kingsley
      (...) Well I think this is a good point maybe the statement should read more like this..

         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Frank Filz
     (...) I like this idea. I really hope the marketting world starts to realize the value of targetted advertising. I would happily fill out a fairly detailed survey if I felt that it's use would be to make sure I received only mail I am interested in. (...)

         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Todd Lehman
     (...) Me too. There's a good treatment of the larger subject (including the above) in Evan I. Schwartz's book _Webonomics_. --Todd (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Erik Olson
     (...) Targeted advertising could soon become pervasive and inescapable. Be careful what you wish for. See (URL) for the latest in involuntary user profiling that could become standard equipment at ISPs. Until people get mad and start to take back (...)

        Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Jeremy H. Sproat
   (...) My issue isn't whether he's a good trader. I didn't ask to trade with him, and I don't have the interest. I don't care if he's a good trader. No, my issue is with his incredible lack of tact in resorting to spam to further his business. If he (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) Helge Viker currently posts on LUGNET in .market.buy-sell-trade. Which raises the question: Should administrative steps be taken against him for harvesting addresses from LUGNET for spam?

         Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Paul Sinasohn
     I suggest that Todd give him a warning, in private, about sending spam. He could point out that posting reaches a wider audience, and he is more likely to gain customers. Paul Sinasohn (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

        Re: WARNING: spam from Helge Viker —Eric Kingsley
