I sporadically keep a list of participants (winners, actually) and when I launch an auction, I announce it on rtl, lma, and by sending a note to that mailing list. I let them know what I'm doing, tell them that I'd be happy to remove their name from my list to avoid future annoyance, and tell them where to go see the auction stuff. Is that what Andreas did to you? I've had 1-2% of the people who get my notes ask to be removed from my list, and I've never had anyone complain about it. Is that advertising vector generally despised, or is it just Jeremy? It seems like if I were pissing people off, I'd have heard about it. So if what I'm doing is OK, and what Andreas is doing is not, then what is the quality that makes them so? thanks, Chris

(...) Christopher, I think you're a bit over the line on this one. I'd highly suggest instead asking your auction winners at that time if they want to be added to a list, and only e-mail them if the say yes. (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.auction)

Hey all, I just got spammed by Andreas Stabno; he's hawking a sale of his. The subject line is "KC Masterpieces". His message goes, "somehow when I wasn't looking the closet filled up with LEGO sets and it's time to sell all 138 sets that remain." (...)
