I'm guessing that they did an initial 'Harvest' of the ARSList for email addresses. If you have opted out, and are receiving the emails again, it is my guess that maybe one of the people who signed up on the site has invited you. There is a handy Invite link where you can invite a friend to join.
I joined. The ARSlist is more useful, but I like being able to put a name with a face, as you can do with the website in mention.

I'm somehow on their list and getting their emails even though I didn't request it. I suspect they're probably a legitimate group, however, the way they went about gathering members is what people are having an issue with. If they had merely posted on the list and provided a link, I believe they would have recieved a more positive response. I'm not losing sleep over it and I will continue to delete the emails as I get them.

I haven't received anything from them personally. If they were harvesting addresses, my guess would be that there would be more traffic and/or complaints. The only exposure that I have had to them is here on the list. With that being said, I am *highly* amused when one does come through. The whole notion of an 'elite' is questionable at best (unless they are in the business of proving their members as such) and affixing the letters BMC on the front is just icing on the cake unless they are sactioned. Heh. IMNSHO - they could have used the name 'remedy monkeys/guys/cyborgs/people/whatever' and got the same effect. Remind me not to laugh when someone claims to be an 'elite' like their poop don't stink.

I'm assuming they pull email addresses from the ARS List whether we signed up or not, and even if we opt out, when they harvest the email addresses here again, it apparently overwrites the opt out__Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
