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 wants to advertise himself, fine, just don't do • it
at my expense in my inbox.

By simply deleting the e-mail and doing nothing else, I'd encourage his • immoral
business practices.  By discussing it in a public forum, I can -- at the same
time -- alert others of this spammer, and give him a hint that there are those
who don't put up with his kind of abuse.

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

(...) Helge, Thanks for letting us know what you are doing and that you are stoping your E-mails. I would note however that probably the main reason you only got 1 negative e-mail as feed back is probably because most Internet providers and E-mail (...)
