many, I always ignore any request to unsubscribe by sending an email to
blah@wherever.net (please don't click on that) and don't receive any
follow-up emails, except from a few rather determined ones that seem to try
to spam my inbox monthly with some pathetic ad campaign.


I got one the other day from a seller telling me a cd which had 100000 e-mail
addresses on it. I assume I was one of them.

Of course, there is the possibility that they may pick up on the fact that
some people are LEGOfans, and might try spamming us with that kind of
email - anyone finding that kind of trash is encouraged to report it not
only to the spammer's ISP, but also to here, maybe Todd can create a
newsgroup specifically for that purpose if he finds he needs to!  <g>

Todd, what policies are you considering?

Personally, I wouldn't mind being spammed with cheap Lego ads *cough,
cough*. Much better than "make money over night" or "send this email to 10
people and win $1000" and "Reverse the aging process with so-and-so's
whatshamawhozit"...

Always lookin' for a bargain...

Opinionatedly,
