Sorry Trev, but unsolicited email offering to sell something you've never heard of from someone you've never heard of is SPAM.
Whether you consider "targeted" spam legitimate as opposed to what you call "blind" SPAM, is irrelevant. You stop SPAM by not buying anything from an unsolicited emailer. PERIOD. I get that exact same email from Jack Feng at least once a week. I even stuck "winding machine" in my filter to immediately send any email with that term into the delete bucket. With all due respect Trev, as long as folks like you try to rationalize SPAM, the spammers will keep doing it. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution. 73 =paul= W8KC ObELECRAFT - I love my KX1. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trevor Day Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 4:22 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Fw: Need winding machine?

I suspect that as we were both in this group when the discussion about toroid winders took place over a year ago and many of us were looking at various sites to do with these machines, this is probably targeted advertising rather than blind spam:-) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
