What about having the tackt to let me now directly that this was not the way of
doing things ? Or at least inform me that you had put a negative posting on
Lugnet ?

I did not see this discussion until today - to days after I sent out my
infamous mail. By now I have received many positive feedbacks, more neutral
feedbacks and one, -1- , negative feedback directly to my mailaccount. That
singel negative feedback was all that was needed to convince me that I had
chosen a not very good way of promopting my sale. And I had already decided not
ever to send out something similar again. And to delete all mail addresses from
my system, that I could not recognice as someone that had already bought from
me, or expressed that they were intereted in getting such mails. By doing that
I would of course also delete addresses to people that was interested. Several
that I have not had any contact with before, has replied and thanked me for my
initiative.

And I repeat my statement from my ather posting in this discussion:

I have NOT harvested mail addresses from Lugnet or ebay. All mail addresses has
come into my system through other mails.

Regards,
Helge Viker
